THE FRIENDS OF THE PARK LANE GROUP �(more)
The Friends have a strong interest in the PLG�s work and want these activities maintained and developed. Being a Friend of the PLG brings good privileges. The suggested annual donation is �25 for one person and �40 for Joint Friends. The extremely simple �Gift Aid� scheme vastly
increases the value of each donation. (go back)
�
THE FINANCIAL CHALLENGE �(more)
The vision of the Park Lane Group is clear. As money must be raised for each PLG event, the challenge is finding the money to make these brilliant events happen.� With its charitable status, the PLG is looking to the very widest sponsorship opportunities.
A Company, by its support, can share in the PLG�s prestige and can play host to musical evenings;
Every single donation can help transform funding for a particular event and can be boosted by �Gift Aid�.�
TRUSTS and FOUNDATIONS
Trusts and Foundations can provide direct funding for PLG projects. (go back)
�
PLG events are regularly attended by a wide range of music critics from the national newspapers, resulting in a wealth of perceptive press reviews
�
