Story

How did Electric Umbrella response to COVID-19 situation? In the only way we know how:- to do things differently, get creative & work with passion, belief & energy.

In an instant EUTV landed delivering over 20 weekly hours of music, chat, fun, laughter and above all connection.

We have helped shorten days, lighten moods and bring a new and important routine into many families that struggle to deal with sudden change.

The response has been amazing. We have had so many messages of thanks from families who have found the prospect of FURTHER social isolation beyond challenging. We've been told it's "A LIFE SAVER" and a "LIFE-LINE" over and over again.

So we are going to keep going for now as long as we can. Keep singing. Keep signing and keeping everyone smiling.

Without being able to run sessions, cover events or workshops, fulfil tours and complete shows our yellow funds are somewhat depleted so your donations here will see us through this troublesome time.

Every donation will help to build EUTV, giving us the channel to reach a much wider abled and learning disabled community and to keep them company throughout the day in a unique and connected way.

Your donations will us to keep the calm and CARRY ON until normal service is resumed... although, as we all know there really is NO SUCH THING AS NORMAL.

THANK YOU!
