For any organisation, funds are always a difficult issue, the rising costs of uniform, music and travelling mean that we have to seek assistance from sources other than our own fund-raising events. The ladies section are a constant source of support for the choir and we have a loyal band of Patrons, the additional income from these sources mean that we can continue our support of many charities throughout the country. It is also pleasing to know that there is a band of people "out there" who are staunch supporters of the choir and its works. If you would like to become a Patron of the choir, please contact either the Secretary or Patrons Officer (see addresses below), you will receive in return, quarterly newsletters to keep you in touch with choir events, complimentary tickets for the Choir’s Annual or Celebrity concert and the knowledge that you are supporting not only the great Welsh tradition of choral music, but that you will also be supporting the charitable work of the choir. The Tonna Male Voice Choir have a long history of supporting charity, the first ever concert by the choir in 1968 was for charity and this support is continued to the present time with some 90% of choir concerts being for charitable purposes. It is our intention to continue our charity work despite the extra financial burden it places on the choir funds.
