NEW VAN NEEDED – help us to keep bringing the Samba party!

Sadly our trusty van TESSie died in late 2024. We desperately need a new(ish) van to be able to transport our drums, and keep delivering on our promise of bringing our infectious Samba rhythms to Edinburgh and beyond.

The Edinburgh Samba School (TESS) has been helping Scotland celebrate with our Brazilian drumming and dancing brilliance since 1992. We've brought the party to gala days, festivals, drumming and dancing workshops, street parades and community events all over the Lothians, from Whitburn to North Berwick, and further afield from Jura to Tenerife!

Story

The Edinburgh Samba School (TESS) is a volunteer run charity (SCO 22986) and has been helping Scotland celebrate with our Brazilian drumming brilliance since 1992. We've brought the party to gala days, festivals, street parades and community events all over the Lothians from Whitburn to North Berwick, and further afield from Jura to Tenerife!

TESS desperately needs your help to get back on the road this summer season, and beyond! We are looking to raise £5,000 to enable us to boost much needed funds, to enable us to move forward with a van purchase.

We have exhausted all other grant funding options available.
