The busy schedule sees an expanded programme, which includes free and discounted training for bands and individuals who are members of the organisation.

Events include a separate series of webinars, touring development workshops and youth development training. Alongside this, regular drop-in Q&A sessions will give bands a chance to put forward queries on topics such as COVID-19 safety and how to claim gift aid.

Experts



Philip Harper, Roger Webster and Paul Cosh will all return to lead BBE's popular Player and Artistic Development days. The webinar series will also bring in experts from other fields including arts fundraising and VAT consultancy, to help support bands with their funding and financial management.

Not a member?

Every term BBE offers an in-depth training webinar free for everyone, including non-members.

This time, the webinar on VAT advice will be free for all to access. Covid-19 advice sessions, supported by New Moon Insurance, will continue to be accessible at no cost.

Book now



Attendance of some events is limited so booking early is advised.

BBE's Education & Development Manager, Sarah Baumann, told 4BR: "The positivity and resilience of bands throughout the pandemic has been amazing, but we know there is still work to do to ensure a sustainable future.

We've put a lot of thought into our new event series and assembled the best experts we can find. They'll be able to offer some really valuable insights on things like financial planning and band governance, alongside our well-loved performance-focused workshops."
