Become a Friend from £60
The Friends of Dorset Opera was established as a separate charity in 1984 with the object of “promoting, supporting, assisting and improving the Society (Dorset Opera)”. In effect this means accumulating funds from members’ annual subscriptions, which are then made available to Dorset Opera when required, but at the same time striving to build up reserves.
THE COST
The minimum subscription to the Friends is £60 per year or £80 for a couple. Some Friends donate more generously, but those donating more than £360 will fall into our Patrons category. To save on administration time, we ask that your subscription be paid by Standing Order. A Gift Aid declaration would allow us to reclaim tax without costing you any more.
