BECOME A FRIEND
In order to continue bringing professional opera to Cumbria, the Cumbria Opera Group is constantly in need of financial support from others. Every contribution, however small, will go some way in aiding our preparation for the Festival, and will support the high cost of our education and outreach work.
​
There's never been a better time to support the Cumbria Opera Group. With Gift Aid, we can claim an extra 25% on top of your donation from the Government, and with the increase in Theatre Tax Relief, we can claim another 45% on top of that. This means a donation of £100 is now worth £170 to the Cumbria Opera Group, without it costing you a penny extra!
