02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
We are a local town brass band. Established in the town of Renfrew sine 1911. We have always been an integral part of the town participating in town events from Gala days to Remembrance Sunday. We are heavily involved in promoting health and well being and the role of music within this. We interact with all ages, religions and ethnic backgrounds. Over the past year we have funded a pensioners Christmas lunch and carol concert, free concert for the whole community and more recently involving young people in brass banding with new percussion instruments . We encourage them to play along with us at engagements. We also perform at a local church each year in a Christmas carol concert. We are always involved in Remembrance Sunday events. The Renfrewshire Provost is our Hon President and we are involved in events with her throughout the year. We are also a competing Brass band and take part in competitions throughout the year. In 2025 we were crowned Scottish 3rd section champions
