Fundraising Events

PLEASE NOTE  We only have 5 spaces left for school fundraising recordings in 2008. If your school is interested in taking part, please contact us as soon as possible for more information and to arrange a date. Call 01270 877208

We are proud to be working in association with a number of charitable organisations over the coming months and as these projects are finalised details will be posted on this web page plus details of how you can get involved.  

If you need to raise funds without financial risk, here is a unique way forward. Over the last five years the scheme has raised tens of thousands of pounds for schools, churches and charitable causes.

Though often used by schools it is available to all types of individuals and organisations. Please call and speak to the member of the Orchard Team as we will be happy to discuss your ideas no matter how unusal you think they are. Just a few ways that organisations have used us are listed below...

• Churches recording the choir and congregation singing songs ready for the Harvest Festival to raise money for church maintenance.
• Schools singing songs ready for Christmas and selling the CD to raise money for the PTA or their chosen Charity
• Corporates recording team songs and compiling a company CD for their chosen charity.
• Corporates auctioning off places in their 'band' to come and record a song one of the team have written.
• A individual who has written a song getting several schools involved as backing singers and recording the CD to sell for their chosen charity, such as Cancer Research UK or British Heart Foundation.

The list is endless so please get in touch and talk to us about your ideas. Below you will find some more details about how the initiative can work.    

An example is how we work with schools. Most schools for example raise an average of £700 - £1000 through recording songs on location and it sits comfortably within the curriculum. The way the process works is very simple and extremely effective. There is no charge whatsoever for any of the work associated with recording, cover design, printing or production. The only costs are for the CDs themselves and even then, only for the number ordered and there is no minimum order quantity.

Your recordings pass through all the professional processes as if they were for commercial release so you can be assured of CDs of outstanding quality. This though is not just a way of raising funds or of producing a professional recording but a whole experience which is a delight for everyone involved.

It is because we are confident we will exceed your expectations and those of your audience, that we take the risk, not you. If you take only one copy of your recording, you pay for one copy and that is all.
