About the Fundraising
Rawchestra
This video shows where the money is currently going and how it is being used to help special needs children to play in a band:
Band on the Wall
Pete Thomas – Sponsor of working with children and young people at Band on the Wall
Wall of Sounds – a partnership between Band on the Wall and Brighter Sound
Pete Thomas, Pillar sponsor of Band on the Wall has agreed to further support the venue by sponsoring Wall of Sounds – a hub for music learning in Manchester.
Wall of Sounds is a brand new music programme, offering a range of exciting opportunities to explore music through artist residencies, courses, masterclasses and performances.
Brighter Sound and Band on the Wall will work in partnership to create a new hub for music learning in Manchester, for people of all ages and from all backgrounds.
Pete will specifically support our work with young people which will include:
- Saturday morning open access programmes (Rawchestra, Advanced Music Production and New Music Voices). These are FREE for young people
- Advice and guidance from music professionals
- Music classes at Band on the Wall
- Work with children with Special Educational Needs
- Work in schools across Greater Manchester
Without Pete’s support this area of Wall of Sounds would not be possible. We are extremely grateful for this sponsorship. – Tim Chatterton, Band on the Wall

ABOUT THE FUNDRAISING
From time to time funds are allocated to other charities – especially when urgent money is required.
Previous Fundraising Campaigns
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.
