Battle Proms raise over £35k for SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity

The Battle Proms series managed to raise more than £35,000 for SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity, from its four summer concerts across England.

The latest Battle Proms concert was held at Highclere Castle on Sunday, July 30.

SSAFA has been Battle Proms’ chosen charity since 2018, and the concert series have raised more than £200,000 for it since then.

The 2022 series raised £35,735.68 for the charity.

Director of fundraising at SSAFA Jonathan Sandall said: “We are extremely grateful for the generosity of the audiences at the four Battle Proms concerts across the summer.

“We have raised more than £35,000 through the season and couldn’t have done it without the fantastic support of the organisers, venue hosts, and our amazing volunteers.

“This money will help SSAFA support our Armed Forces community, its serving men and women, veterans and their families.

“So, a big ‘thank you’ to all who’ve supported us, especially by attending the concerts, and if you didn’t make it to one this year, be sure to keep an eye out for the 2023 season.”
