• Fundraising and Donations •


The Friends of the Hampshire County Youth Orchestra need to raise £25,000 every year to continue to support our young musicians. We gratefully acknowledge the support of parents, friends, charitable trusts and other corporate sponsors.

Our very existence relies upon both financial support and the support of our many volunteer helpers. There are so many ways to support the Friends!

If you can assist with your time, please sign-up to one of our VolunteerSpot events or come to one of our meetings of The Friends.

Please consider making a regular or one-off donation to the Friends. You can do this directly to the charity’s bank account. Please email the FHYCO Treasurer (treasurer.fhcyo@gmail.com) for details and information on how to sign up for Gift Aid.

Alternatively, you can donate and sign up for gift aid through our Crowdfunder fundraising platform: 



Anyone who shops on-line can financially support the Friends at no cost to themselves! Please encourage all family and friends to sign-up to Easy Fundraising and a percentage of all your on-line shopping will be donated to the Friends. Most high street and on-line retailers support this scheme, including John Lewis, M&S, Tesco, Amazon, eBay and many, many more!  

You can also now donate your Nectar points to the Friends of HCYO. Go to:

Trusts and corporate sponsors provide financial assistance to some of our big-budget items, including sponsorship of concerts and the purchase and repair of instruments. If you can assist, or know someone who can, please contact:
