WINGATES Brass Band has been an important part of local life in Westhoughton since 1873.
It’s brought endless pleasure to the thousands upon thousands in this country and around the world who have enjoyed its musical skills
and brought honour to the town with its wealth of accolades.
Now, very sadly, it is facing collapse and needs urgent financial assistance.
Higher annual running costs mean it needs help from the local community and support from local businesses to stay alive.
We need to support its concerts and, if we can, offer a financial helping hand.
