RainBo Music Trust - Bideford Music Day and Beyond

---

The RainBo Music Trust purchased a drum kit for Bideford Youth Club in 2021 with money raised through Bideford Music Day.

In 2023 The RainBo Music Trust used some of the money raised at Bideford Music Days 2023 to hold an all day event at Great Torrington Town Hall. This included a number of free Music Workshops and Live Performances. 

Covid put a hold on many things, and as a relatively new charity it was a frustrating time. However, we managed to hold a Bideford Music Day despite everything that was going on, Livestreamed by Beep Media from The Palladium Club in Bideford, people were able to join the event from their homes. 

Started in 2022 the RainBo Fun Run is a colour run taking place in Victoria Park at the very start of the Music Day weekend. The event is intended to raise funds towards the costs of producing Bideford Music Day.. Entrants run / walk around the park, passing 7 stations where they are covered in all the colours of the rainbow! 

Bideford Music Day relies heavily on support from it's amazing volunteers. If you would like to get involved please get in touch! The Trust has successfully gained funding for volunteer training  for 2024 from Devon County Council's Growing Fund. This will mean volunteers will undertake First Aid Training, Health and Safety Training, Customer Service Training and Radio Communication Training.

Bideford Music Day relies heavily on grants, funding and sponsors. WIthout the support from these sources the event would not happen. Funding and Support for the 2024 event has been provided by organisations and businesses including Bideford Town Council, Bideford Bridge Trust and Evans Transport. We would like to say a heartfelt THANK YOU to these organisations and businesses for their support.
