Financial Support
I
f you wish to support the Society, in addition to coming to our concerts there are three ways to contribute financially;
- simply make an individual Donation
- donate annually by becoming a Friend of FCS
- companies can provide Corporate Sponsorship
A non-profit choir, Fernhurst Choral Society is a self funded registered charity, with all revenue directed to the running of the choir. We perform three concerts a year, usually accompanied by professional musicians such as the Downland Sinfonia or Southern Pro Musica and by talented young singer soloists, many of whom are at the start of their professional careers. We also run hugely enjoyable annual “Come & Sing” events.
These activities incur significant expenditure, which is often not covered by membership fees and income from ticket and programme sales and programme advertising. So by financially supporting us you can help FCS to continue to thrive in the future.
