Welcome to friends and guests of Bompas & Parr! We are Pipe Up for Pipe Organs!

Every week, FOUR British pipe organs are scrapped and sent to landfill. Many more are mouldering away, neglected and silent.  

We are a group of organ enthusiasts who came together in 2022 to stop the rot.

WHAT WE DO AT PIPE UP FOR PIPE ORGANS

With very limited funds, we:

  • Speak out for Britain's threatened heritage of pipe organs and their music

  • Rescue threatened organs and find them new homes

  • Train volunteers to care for organs

  • Bring organs for public use to places like London Bridge Station and the Whitgift Centre, Croydon
     

COULD YOU HELP US?

We need your help to:

  • Get thousands of Britain’s silent organs back into regular use

  • Recruit new generations of organ players

  • Get more organs into public spaces

  • Train more people to care for organs

  • Create a centre for the public to explore the full glory of organs and their music

  • Recruit more volunteers to rescue organs

WHAT A DONATION PAYS FOR

£50 pays for a training workshop for our volunteers, fixing real issues on an organ with playability issues

£150 pays for an introduction to organ playing at one of our public organs for up to five players

£250 buys a storage unit for a recovered organ

£600 gets a silent, “sleeping beauty” organ back into playable condition and regular use with a few days of expert help

£1,500 pays for a threatened organ to be rescued and safely stored while we find it a new home

£10,000 would enable us to get ALL the organs playable in a medium-sized town and find them regular players

£150,000 would buy us a redundant church or chapel to use as a centre where organs could be rebuilt, played and enjoyed
