Support the Festival

Southend Festival of Performing Arts, is a registered charity. All of our stewards and committee members work on an entirely voluntary basis and our annual overheads are considerable.

Your generous assistance, whether it be it your time, or financial support, helps us to continue to provide opportunities for competitors of all ages and abilities to perform to a live audience, receive instant feedback and valuable guidance from a specialist adjudicator, and return home with a personalised certificate (and possibly a medal) as a souvenir of their participation.
