Welcome to MMC


Macclesfield Music Centre (MMC) is an independent, registered charity, offering everyone in Macclesfield and the surrounding community the opportunity to enjoy making music.

Music is performed by groups & ensembles at all levels, providing progressive training and experience in wind band, jazz band & orchestral playing, and our Coffee Shop is an ideal meeting place to make new friends. Our members range from 3 to 76+ years, so it really is a genuine community.

Please consider helping us with a donation - you can give via card via Paypal or direct from your bank:

Donate via Paypal Giving Fund - with Gift Aid

This method allows you to make a gift-aid declaration (click the link in your email receipt after you have donated), and doesn't cost MMC anything to receive, but does require you to have or create a Paypal account.

Donate by Paypal - regular donation (no gift aid)

This method doesn't require a Paypal account (just a credit/debit card) but does not allow gift aid, and does incur a small fee to Paypal (which you can choose to pay on our behalf if you wish). It will also allow a regular donation to be set-up if desired. If you wish to make a regular donation with Gift Aid, please see the Bank Transfer section below.


Bank Transfer

You can send a donation via bank transfer as a one off or as a regular standing order - if you are able to complete a gift aid form (and haven't already done so) then please do; it adds 25p to every £1 you donate:
