SaMMs pays its way through fees, funding and other fundraising activities and events.
- Fees: We keep these as low as we possibly can - we don't want a child to miss out on musical training and participation because of money. We subsidise children too - offering them free or reduced rate attendance and subsidising individual instrumental lessons where necessary. A number of our students have special needs, necessitating very low tutor to child ratios - sometimes as low as one to one.
- Funding: We are VERY grateful to the DMEH (Devon Music Education Hub) who have kept is going through annual grants. The funding has allowed us to engage in outreach work at local schools as well as helping us keep fees at a manageable level for parents. Those grants are under continuing funding pressure too and we are having to find other sources of income to fund our activities.
- Fundraising: We have raffles and refreshments at concerts, a Facebook fundraiser and donations.
- KEVICC: Last but by no means least: we couldn't do what we do without the generous in-kind support from KEVICC who give us the use of the Ariel Center and the school for 30 Saturdays a year and the generosity of our parents who give of their time and often much more week in, week out.
Thank you for your generosity!
