Tony Loy Trust Celebration Concert

As a beneficiary, sponsor or supporter of The Tony Loy Trust, thank you for your interest in tickets for our Celebration Concert. Tickets, at £15 each, include a complimentary glass of wine or soft drink.

Some of the beneficiaries are appearing in the concert, starring Simeon Lord - Jazz Saxophonist and featuring Megan Hughes – Singer, Angels Performing Arts, Blewbury Brass Band and more.

The object of The Tony Loy Trust is to support children and young people from Blewbury and the surrounding area in sport and the arts. We have provided £57,000 in 112 grants to individuals, organisations and projects.

44% of these have supported the arts: we have purchased keyboards, cornets and stage lighting in local schools; helped young companies stage productions at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival; sponsored people on music and drama courses; and helped a performing arts group send children to international festivals.

56% of our grants have supported sports: we have supported elite sportspeople in athletics, triathlon and motorsport; sponsored a girls’ football and boys’ rugby club; and installed an all-weather goal area at a local recreation area and play equipment in a pre-school.

Overall, our support has improved facilities, provided opportunities, strengthened communities and developed skills and confidence.
