Westerton Male Voice Choir
Our Chosen Charity 2022 - 2024
Fundraising for Drake Music Scotland
Story
Every two years we select a charity, local or national, for which to fundraise and enhance awareness levels. It is a long time and cherished tradition of our choir and a very important aspect of life in Westerton Male Voice Choir.
Our current chosen charity is Drake Music Scotland!
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Drake Music Scotland is the nation’s leading arts organisation providing music making opportunities for people with disabilities. Their expertise in inclusive music technology and specialist teaching methods support people of all ages and a wide range of disabilities to play, learn and compose music independently.
Developing out of the Drake Research Project founded in England by Adele Drake in 1988, Drake Music Scotland became a separate charitable organisation (Registered Scottish Charity No. SC026908) in 1997 and since then has worked with over 13,000 children and adults across Scotland.
Their biggest achievements to date include setting up Scotland’s first disabled youth orchestra, the Digital Orchestra, in 2016; 'All Join In' their flagship education programme for special and mainstream schools; implementation of their acclaimed training and CPD programme; their innovative developments in technology, and the introduction of Figurenotes.

At the heart of our singing in WMVC is a cherished tradition of fundraising for charity, with which we try our very best every year and carry out with great enthusiasm. Over the years, in addition to raising awareness for our charity partner, we have raised in excess of £120,000 for a wide range of good causes.
At all of our rehearsals, concerts, gigs and social events we will be raising awareness and fundraising for this fabulous charity - thank you!
