Story

Hello, my name is Rachel Matthews and I am 14 years old. At school we were given the chance to take part in Young Enterprise's 'Tenner Challenge 2013'. This is where you have 1 month to make as much money as you can from a £10 start-up fund. For my business, I have decided to play piano everyday at the RNLI Slipway Bar (RNLI college, Poole) at 7.30pm, donating all the money I make to the RNLI.

Also, I have set-up an auction on eBay for a personal Skype performance that sold for £20! Keep looking here for updates on new eBay listings!

I am aiming to make enough money to train and kit-out a lifeboat crew member. This costs £2232.

My latest campaign is #pianoinspace. I am trying to get my piano performance heard on the International Space Station! Please follow me on Twitter @RachelMatt14 and retweet #pianoinspace to get as much publicity for my project as possible.

Thank you for taking the time to read my page - I hope that you can support my fantastic charity by donating generously! :)
