Your financial support helps us to deliver inspiring programmes to our local communities.
As a donor and part of the ‘Orchestras Central family’ you will play an essential part in keeping our orchestras thriving.

Thank you to our generous donors
We thank the D & K Des Forges Trust, Dr Corinne Law and Seddon and Christine Polglase whose generosity enabled Orchestras Central to purchase a new keyboard and amplifier to replace its aging equipment.
Every donation will help to support our unshakeable belief in the transformative potential of orchestras. If you would like to support us please click the link below.
Gift in Wills
Another way is to provide a gift in your Will. If legacy giving is meaningful for you after you have considered your Whānau and loved ones, please do let us know. If you wish, we could then acknowledge your future generosity in our concert programmes.
A gift of any size can make a measurable difference to what we are able to do. You could make a gift of a certain sum, or a specific asset – for example a musical instrument that could be used by a member of the youth orchestra. Or a specific percentage of your estate or a gift after provision has been made for your Whānau and loved ones.
If you would like to support Orchestras Central Trust in this way, please do speak with your lawyer. They would need to know our full name and registered charity number as below.
