The Fund is entirely dependent on donations or legacies. The income it uses to support students comes from investments and fund-raising events such as concerts. Thanks to the generosity of its benefactors, the Fund has been able to distribute some £80,000 since 1972.
Donations - both large and small - are always welcome and anyone wishing to support the work of the Fund is asked to contact the Honorary Treasurer:
Giles Garratt
10 Broad Walk
Stratford-upon-Avon

Cheques should be made payable to Denne Gilkes Memorial Fund.
