National Lottery

The Inverkeithing Community Big Band is part of Inverkeithing High School's further education programme. Backed by £5,000 funding from school PTA an application was put forward to the National Lottery for a total sum of £20,000 to start this venture. The application was successful in November 1998

The initial funds were used to purchase instruments, equipment, insurance and music. Some adults had played instruments as young people but had no funds to purchase these expensive instruments. Now they could hire a band instrument for a small fee.
