Fundraising

STOP PRESS: Money collected in January is going to help victims of the Haiti earthquake.

For 2009 we are looking at a new project and are now raising funds for Band On The Wall, specifically the Gorton Education Village project. This aims to help with music education for children with special needs with an emphasis on how disabled and non-disabled musicians can work together in music and dance, as well as audio-visual production work and the creation of a Steel Band Academy.

Other Charities

From time to time funds are allocated to other charities - especially when urgent money is required. Funds collected during May and June 2008 have been allocated to help the victims of the Burma Cyclone. In December 2009 we have donated to the PRS Benevolent Cyril Wood Court project fund to help

Leukaemiabusters

I wish to thank all of you who have supported this fundraising through purchases, downloads, donations and advertising. I recently visited the Leukaemia Busters research facility at Park Gate (see pics) and was able to see at first hand the valuable work that is being carried out. Leukaemia Busters are concentrating on a revolutionary new cure focussing on antibody treatments which are much kinder and safer than the current methods (chemotherapy). The (almost) £8000 raised so far for Leukaemia Busters has enabled them to purchase a Flow Cytometer.
