Every year since Old Glory was formed, we have made donations to various organisations out of the money we have collected during the winter.  Most of the beneficiaries are local, many were chosen because of a shared interest in keeping history alive and some have special meaning to individual members.  A few have received more than one donation.

Here is a list, in no particular order, of those we have been able to help over the years because of the generosity of our audiences:
