Too often in today’s society, the younger generation are labelled and blamed for so many issues, when their triumphs are rarely celebrated.

However this summer, Dobcross Youth Band intend to travel to mainland Europe on a 7 day tour, the highlight being granted the honour of performing as part of the ceremony at the Menin Gate war memorial.

Dobcross Youth Band works tirelessly throughout the year to raise money to be able to afford such things, whilst also donating money to charity. The children in the band are hoping to raise as much money as possible through different tasks, so that they can have the best possible time, and allow more money to be spent on other fantastic causes.
