Raise funds when you shop online.

logo-hires-easyfundraising Do you shop online? Did you know that every time you buy something you could be raising money for West Norfolk Music Centre?

That’s right – over 2400 well known retailers including Amazon, M&S, Boden, John Lewis, House of Fraser, Vodafone, Virgin Atlantic and many more, will donate a percentage of what you spend to West Norfolk Music Centre! when you shop with them, via fundraising website easyfundraising.org.uk

An Easy Way To Raise Funds

It’s like nlogowallectar but instead of earning points, each purchase generates a donation. So instead of going directly to a retailer’s website, go to easyfundraising first and choose the retailer you want to shop with – then everything you spend with that retailer earns a free donation for West Norfolk Music Centre. It’s completely free to use and your shopping won’t cost you a penny more.

Each retailer will donate a percentage of the cost of your shopping – and those donations soon mount up.

So whatever you need to buy, from your weekly grocery shop or fashion must-have, to your business travel, office supplies or mobile phone, buy it via easyfundraising and raise money for West Norfolk Music Centre at no extra cost to you!

Remembering Christmas, looking forward to the New Year

So, all our trees and lights are down, we’re back at school and (if you were lucky enough to get a break!) work, it’s twelfth night and the weather has reversed back into autumn.

Here’s a reminder, in pictures, of the hard work our members put in to our Christmas music extravaganza at Tesco in King’s Lynn.

Musical resolutions for New Year

Ihny2015t’s New Year’s Day, so it’s time to make those little promises to yourself about what you’re going to achieve this year. Even better, make those promises to the world (on our Facebook page, or as a comment right here on our website), and you’ll be much more likely to keep them!

Just to get you thinking, here are ten ideas for musical resolutions:

  1. Learn a new instrument.
  2. Get out an old instrument you haven’t played for years.
  3. Learn a new piece.
  4. Clean or polish your instrument!
  5. Get the piano tuned.
  6. Join a new group.
  7. Go and see a musical performance, but make it something very different from what you would usually choose!
  8. Read a biography of your favourite musician.
  9. If you’re a member of West Norfolk Music Centre, bring a friend along.
  10. If you’re not a member, join us!

Happy New Year!

Meet the trustees

The trustees of West Norfolk Music Centre are responsible for deciding how the centre is run, and for making sure that it meets its obligations as a registered charity. Now you can find out a little more about each of the trustees on our website.

Of course, the Centre could not run without its dedicated staff and teachers, and we will be adding mini-biographies for each of them too, so come back again soon!
