Charities

Senior PHAB Club, Selby
This is the band's chosen charity and they perform for free at an annual fundraising concert. Proceeds from the concert go towards providing a minibus and driver to transport a group of physically handicapped and able bodied adults.

Children of Magila, Tanzania
On 4th July 2001 the band were asked to perform a concert on behalf of Dr Stanford, whose daughter was born in Magila. All funds raised from the concert at Barlby High School went towards musical instruments. These instruments were flown out (with medical supplies) to the children of Magila in Tanzania.

In 2002 the band provided assistance in the fund-raising process by donating collections from a concert.
