The National Piping Centre is a registered charity. We are very fortunate that our great success has allowed us to remain largely self-sufficient, however the extent and outreach of our many valuable projects simply can’t be sustained without help. We want to continue providing and developing our projects, but feel it’s important to do this while keeping lesson and admission costs to a minimum. Thus, we look to the generosity and partnership of the private sector for support.

In return, our supporters and friends benefit from a close relationship with the National Piping Centre, and our sponsors gain measurable business benefits.
