SBBA Re-launches National Foodbank Appeal 

Following the success of last year’s campaign, the Scottish Brass Band Association is launching its second coordinated national foodbank collection appeal. Band members and supporters throughout Scotland are encouraged to collect items for donation to their local foodbanks by the end of the February.  
 
Last year’s initiative was proposed by Coalburn Silver Band musical director Gareth Bowman, who is SBBA’s project officer, and the idea took off among numerous Scottish bands.  Gareth said, “It was great to see ten brass bands across Scotland help their local communities, raise awareness and support the work of foodbanks. It would be amazing for more bands to get on board this year.” 
 
Here's how to get involved:  
1. Launch a collection campaign within your band organisation 
2. Collect items throughout the month of February  
3. Deliver your band's collection to your local foodbank   
4. Share pictures and information about your collection on your social media platforms to raise awareness and demonstrate support for local communities across Scotland, using the hashtags #SBBAeducates and #SBBAcares  
 
You can also share pictures and information of your band’s efforts with SBBA PR officer Nigel Martin by email at sbbapr@gmail.com
