£80,910

You're probably wondering why our Charity total of £80,910 is more than the sums raised at all our Concerts ...

There are 3 reasons!

1. With the kind permission of the Publishers of the Guitar Tutor Book from which our Founder, Derek, taught his guitar students, he has recorded the early exercises onto CD, and sells these in aid of charity.
2. In the early days of Workshop, when we didn't have enough material for two Concerts a year, we used to hold Sponsored Events in the Summer, including
   • Learning 39 instruments in one day
     
   • Ecologically friendly outdoor Treasure Hunts
3. In the past we've shared Concerts with the Hampshire Guitar Orchestra, and it's pretty much impossible to unpick which ensemble raised how much of the totals we've sent off to the charities!
