Description
Experience Level: Intermediate
Hi Sarah,
'm the founder and Artistic Director of an arts charity that brings people from different faiths and cultures together, primarily, through music. Our history is that we started as a band of musicians from Jewish, Christian and Muslim heritage and played music in churches, synagogues and community centred venues, as well as concert halls. We received some funding from the Arts Council as well as funding to run some educational workshops with young people. Gradually we shifted focus away from 'being a band' to formalising an organisation so that we could develop more work in the community.
Currently we run a community, inter faith choir, based at Richmond Adult Community College, we have received a small sum to run a pilot project for a Youth band and we are looking at developing projects that use the arts to bring people together, with a focus on young people. We have built a strong reputation in the inter faith/community cohesion field and now we want to expand and consolidate our work.
We have found that our capacity is a limiting factor and we would like to raise enough funds to offer a 2/3 days a week post to a Business Development Manager who, working closely with me, would have responsibilities to strengthen the longevity and reach of our work so that we can achieve the impact that our work potentially has.
We have a small amount of money to pay a fundraiser to either write bids to this end, or to advise on on how to proceed. We're contacting you, and a few others, though People Per Hour.
We're very happy to answer any questions and I'm attaching some documents for you to look over.
We have a web site - it's currently being up dated as we have had a name change(due to receiving Charity Commission registration and so that we can broaden our scope of work beyond music) but there is a lot of info there -

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yes, we are still talking to people about this. Just to clarify - I'm taking suggestions, Proposals and I will submit a short list to our Board of Trusttes at the next meeting in mid October. They will make decisions and we'll move forward.
