The visit to the Senedd also coincided with the release of the Brass Bands Wales 2023 National Survey which is being released to ALL brass bands in Wales. Any organisation who has a vested interest in supporting the growth of the brass band movement in Wales, is encouraged to engage and participate in the Survey (regardless of whether they are members of BBW or not).
The data collated from this comprehensive survey will be used as evidence to support future representations to the Welsh Government, to demonstrate the urgent need for financial intervention to ensure the survival of the brass band movement in Wales and to provide future support for future action and projects.
Members of the Steering Group have already started contacting bands and each Secretary will receive their copy of the Survey in the coming weeks and is politely urged to complete it and return it in the pre-paid envelope provided before the deadline date, which is January 1st, 2024.
