Friends of the RSCDS – Join Today

“Fun, Fitness and Friendship”

Become a Friend and help us to celebrate our centenary year in 2023 and to cherish the dance and music traditions of Scotland.  Your support today will help us develop Scottish country dance and music worldwide for the benefit of current and future generations. Our Friends of the RSCDS Regular Giving scheme allows you to gain a better understanding of how fundraising helps us in our work.

We run a wide range of programmes, activities and events aimed at preserving and promoting Scottish country dancing.  Through our Branches we bring people of all ages and abilities together for fun, fitness and friendship, while learning Scottish country dancing. We provide opportunities for dancers to improve their skills through workshops and teaching, we have various programmes to support and encourage young people to engage in dance and we offer a range of courses and learning materials for those who wish to teach others to dance or who are already teaching.  We also provide music resources, run programmes for musicians, undertake research and provide a wealth of information about Scottish country dancing and music through web-based content and social media.  We depend on charitable support to be able to undertake all that we do to promote and preserve Scottish country dancing.

By becoming a Friend of the RSCDS and choosing to give a regular monthly donation, you can help us plan ahead and to develop and expand our programmes of activity.

You can become a Friend of the RSCDS today by committing to make a regular monthly donation.  The Friends of the RSCDS is open to anyone around the World, all that we ask is that you consider making a monthly donation of £5 or more each month or an annual donation of £60 or more (or the equivalent in your home nation currency), but any donation amount on a monthly/annual basis will enable you to become a Friend.
