SOME OF OUR PREVIOUS DONATIONS
As a small group, having to fundraise ourselves as a group, we appreciate how difficult it is to raise funds for charities and good causes. Whenever we perform a show, we try where possible to donate back some of the profit from the show to good causes and charities. We also use money from shows to enable us to maintain our stage and equipment and upgrade our equipment from time to time.
Our audiences tend to like to know where their ticket money goes (besides covering the cost to produce the shows) and so with that in mind, some of our previous causes we have donated to are shown below. We hope we can keep adding to the list but this is just a few of them.
If you are an audience member and have a cause special to you which you'd like to be considered for donations, please let us know via our contact page. Thanks.
SRI LANKA TSUNAMI VILLAGE (Kalmunai Church)
Following the Sri Lankan Tsunami disaster, Melody Makers decided as a group that we wanted to donate to help those affected by the disaster. Rather than money getting "lost in administration" with the charity funds set up by government, we decided to donate to a small village directly.
BENLLECH & LLANGEFNI DOCTORS SURGERIES
In 2007, we managed to raise enough money to purchase medical equipment in the form of two much needed "Pulse Oximeter" units for the doctors surgeries in Benllech and Llangefni.
ALAW CANCER UNIT ATYSBYTY GWYNEDD
We have donated £550 to the Ty Gobaith charity (Hope House).
The little princess trust are a charity who make real hair wigs for children who have lost their hair due to having treatment for cancer. As we use wigs and costumes on stage we felt this was a good cause to donate. We have managed to donate £350 to them which is the cost of each wig.
We have donated £500 to the Alzheimer's Society.
We have donated £600 to the air ambulance. A very worthy cause indeed. A further donation of £150 was made in 2018.
HM COASTGUARD (MOELFRE)
We have donated £200 to Moelfre Coastguard.
In 2017 we managed to donate £250 to the North Wales Society for the Blind who do excellent work for those in North Wales and the surrounding areas.
