Thank you to everyone who took part in this year’s Annual Supporters' Survey.
This year, we were delighted to hear from members across all levels of engagement, from those who have supported us for many years to individuals who have only recently joined. The diversity of perspectives shared through the survey reflects the richness of our membership and the shared passion for music and the arts. It is this collective commitment that enables Britten Pears Arts to continue presenting world-class performances, nurturing emerging talent, and expanding our charitable work.

We are always kept well informed about what is going on. And its nice to be invited to members only events.Gold Friend
I appreciate the one-to-one with the Development team, and the tolerance of other members of the BPA family with suggestions. At the same time, I recognise I am a newbie and that it is the job of the Development team to make me feel welcome.Patron Circle
Many respondents expressed appreciation for the events and experiences that bring them closer to the heart of our work. Open rehearsals, receptions, and talks were frequently mentioned as highlights, offering members a sense of inclusion and behind-the-scenes insight. We were especially pleased to see continued enthusiasm for our Digital Discussions, which have become a valued space for exploring a wide range of topics with inspiring guests. These online events have helped us reach members who may not be able to attend in person, fostering deeper engagement across geographical boundaries.
We are also deeply grateful to those who indicated an interest in increasing their support or considering legacy giving. These gestures of generosity are vital to sustaining our mission and ensuring that Britten Pears Arts can continue to thrive for generations to come. If you would like to explore these opportunities further, please contact us at joinus@brittenpearsarts.org. Every contribution, no matter the size, plays a meaningful role in supporting our work.

Just to say I absolute LOVE Snape and all the music making, the artists, annual sculpture trail - it's all brilliant. I go throughout the year as I live in Ipswich but obviously the Aldeburgh Festival is a highlight in my year.Friend
