Harmony Foundation

 

The British Association Pin Up of Barbershop Singers is a charity that exists to develop and promote harmony singing through encouragement, development and education. Harmony Foundation is the operating name of the charity. 

Donations to BABS Harmony Foundation are used to provide grants to help people to develop their skills. The charity has so far issued nearly £100,000 in grants to men and women, young and old alike.
