Friends of The Music
The Friends of the Music of Leeds Minster (a support organisation founded in 1951) has saved the choir from oblivion. On its formation the Friends was the first such support group established at an English parochial foundation; there have since been many successors. The support of many parishioners and headteachers of the parochial school, St Peter's Church of England Primary School in Burmantofts, has also been vital to the choir's survival.
