Together we're helping
The organisation is led solely by volunteers who dedicate their time and energy to teach, coach and support new and existing young members and help them reach their goals.
Mayflower Performing Arts currently has a membership of 65, of which 40 are under the age of 16. The charity relies on fundraising, grants and donations to ensure they can continue to provide the opportunity to all children from all backgrounds and financial circumstances. With growing costs of equipment, rehearsal accommodation and transport, they rely on generous grants to maintain and provide the membership with new spinning equipment, props, costumes and rehearsal facilities.
