Our Summer of fundraising is here!
This summer, we're raising £3,000 for The Song School Fund - and we need your help.
Every September, we welcome a new intake of young people onto our timetable. The Song School Fund makes sure that cost is never the reason a child or young person misses out. It pays for free and subsidised session places for families on low incomes, supports our work with neurodivergent young people, and helps us maintain our instruments and studios - including the sensory garden we're currently building.
Our £3,000 target would fund 15 supported places for a full year.
We've got two events running this summer, plus an open invitation for anyone who wants to do their own thing.
The Big Busk | 1st July – 7th September
We're inviting musicians of all ages and abilities to busk in Southend and raise money for the Fund. You don't need to be a member of The Song School — you just need to want to play. We'll provide signage, a collection bucket and a QR code for online donations.
Our target: £1,000 — enough to fund 5 supported places for a full year.
The Estuary Walk | Saturday 8th August
A 10-mile coastal walk from Leigh-on-Sea to East Beach, sponsored by c2c Rail. Join the walking team, volunteer on the day, or cheer us along the route.
Our target: £2,000 — enough to fund 10 supported places for a full year.
Do your own thing
