Music Custodians boost for Ripon Cathedral Music Foundation

A cheque for £15,000 was presented to Ripon Cathedral Music Foundation today by the Cathedral’s Music Custodians.

Tom Ramsden, Chairman of the Trustees of Ripon Cathedral Development Campaign, commented, “the Music Custodians have made a significant difference to the music in the Cathedral through their enthusiasm, support and financial assistance. These funds are much needed and appreciated as it costs around £150,000 each year to provide the music activities at the Cathedral that are enjoyed by so many people”.

Membership of the Music Custodians brings with it benefits such as tickets to special concerts at the Cathedral and exclusive social and musical events.

Since its inception six years ago, the Development Campaign has raised over £1.2 million. Readers wanting to find out more or get involved should contact Ripon Cathedral Development Campaign on 01765 603583.
