Anne Chant from the choir said: “We wondered what we could do as a choir to support the musicians of the school and Bex said that some musical instruments were much needed.
“So we sold cakes, did a ‘top ten hymns’ competition (£1 per vote) and asked directly for specific instruments to be sponsored by individuals, as Bex had indicated what each instrument would cost. It really seemed to strike a chord with people (if you forgive the pun!) as they could really identify with the specific needs of these children and what their donated money had bought. So it really didn’t take very long at all to raise what was needed and with Gift Aid we were able to contribute a bit more too.
“So although it was the choir’s project, it was the whole of the congregation of All Saints Witley who raised the money and who are all now delighted to see photos and a video of the children with the instruments.”
This is the first round of instruments purchased... there are more being made locally, including... finger pianos!
