Welcome to Phoenix Morris

 

Giving to Charity

The funds raised by the Side come from three sources: from membership subscriptions paid by Side members, currently £15.00 per annum (not charged in the first year of membership), from collections during our performances at local public houses etc, and finally from the fees charged for dancing at events. This money is paid into our "bag" (our bank account) and from this fund we pay expenses such as hire of hall, insurance, subscriptions etc. At the end of the year we donate as much as we can to charity, apart from a prudent float, as agreed at our AGM in November. 

In 2011 so far we have given £400 to Swan Care, £400 to the Colne Valley Special Sailors at Rickmansworth Aquadrome, and £200 to Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP). We have also helped Merrydowners Morris with their collection at the London New Year's Day parade.
