To get the project off the ground in ernest, we need to raise £15,000 to fund the initial stage. This is not a plea for donations, but if anyone did want to donate anything, it would be gratefully received.

Donations can be made via any major Credit or Debit card via Paypal using the email address

 

donations@thelongwayround.co.uk

 

All donations would be welcomed regardless of how big or small. Every pound counts :-)

 

We have had a number of ideas from our members on how to raise funds. One of the favorites at the moment is to undertake an online Charitable auction. We are currently accepting donations of goods for the forthcoming auction, so if you have any items, memorabilia, collectibles etc, please keep us in mind :-)

 

We would also hope that a large number of people will join our facebookgroup, from Young People with a 'Vested Interest' and wanting to air their work through our web pages on the internet, to people interested in the project and wanting to donate to the fund. The larger our membership and number of supporters, the stronger our standing for funding.

 

We are also considering offering shares in the Community Interest Company to raise the initial funds needed. Any thoughts or ideas on this matter are gratefully recieved.

All input is important to us. Your ideas and needs are the foundation of the project, so if there is anything you feel we are not covering that Young musicians and potential Musicians could benefit from, please let us know.
