Becoming a member gives us a regular source of funding to support the Music Box mission. But if you want to support us further, donations are very welcome.
Music Box Wealden was founded in 2022 as a Community Interest Company. Instead of serving the interests of private shareholders, Community Interest Companies exist to provide benefits for their communities. They have to make a Community Interest Statement to demonstrate to the Regulator that they are eligible for CIC status and provide an Asset Lock which ensures that, should the company be wound up, any assets are transferred to another CIC or other organisation with charitable aims – in our case, that’s Hailsham Choral Society.
We currently have three directors all of whom have strong backgrounds in music making in East Sussex – as we progress we may add more, to benefit from new areas of expertise and to make sure that all stakeholders in the community are represented as we grow and develop.
