We hope you will consider joining the Friends of Proms at St Jude's. By doing so you will be helping in no small way to maintain the standard of excellence set by the Proms in recent years while enjoying a range of attractive benefits, including the ability to book tickets well ahead of the general public. You will also have the satisfaction of actively supporting the work of important local charities which, from its outset 18 years ago, have been the principal raison d'être of the festival.

For a number of years our charities have been Toynbee Hall and the North London Hospice Any surplus made by the festival is shared between them each year in the ratio of 75:25 respectively.
