Safeguarding
The band management team place the utmost importance on the safety of our members. We strive to ensure that there are opportunities for all people, whatever their age, culture, disability, gender, language, racial origin, religious belief and/or sexual identity to participate in brass banding in an enjoyable and safe environment. Our Musical Directors and Band Managers have been through safeguarding training and the band organisation as a whole meets the requirements of the Brass Bands England Bandsafe programme.

Cleaning Rota
Thank you to all our members who have agreed to help out with keeping our new bandroom spick-and-span. This page provides the bandroom rota and instructions on the cleaning tasks.
The bandroom rota can be found below. Volunteers have been put into pairs and it will take about an hour for two people to complete each cleaning session. A cleaning slot is booked every Sunday between 2pm and 6pm . You can arrange the exact time directly with your cleaning buddy. If you want to change the time, or swap with another team, then try to organise that via the cleaning rota WhatsApp group.
The cleaning instructions can be found below together with instructions on how to test the fire alarm. They are also available in the kitchen.
