SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity, raised over £43,000 at the 2023 summer Battle Prom series. Handel-ing it beautifully, the fundraising team pulled together to make this year’s fundraising a spectacular success.
Despite a little rain at a couple of the events, the audience didn’t get Straussed out, and dug deep in their pockets to donate to the charity.
For SSAFA, the Battle Proms Picnic Concerts are a fundraising lifeline. Since they started to support the charity in 2018 they have raised over £200,000, which is an extraordinary feat, especially since they had to be cancelled due to covid in 2020.
Jonathan Sandall, Director of Fundraising, Marketing and Communications at SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity, said:
“We are extremely grateful for the generosity of the audiences at the Battle Proms concerts across the summer.
“This money will help SSAFA support the Armed Forces community, including serving personnel, veterans and their families. And it’s through the generosity and support of the British public and events like Battle Proms that we can continue.”
