We fund after school music clubs which include a Samba band & violin & guitar classes. The children then have opportunities to take part in local festivals & community events, giving them confidence & enthusiasm to learn an instrument. Our organised events include both Xmas & Summer fairs, which provide fun for the kids & a chance to raise money for the school.
