Since running a record-breakingly slow 5K in 2013 to raise money for Help Musicians UK, I have taken an extended break from athletic society. On 29th May I will attempt to run my first ever 10K (Vitality London 10,000) to raise money for the Street Orchestra of London. Your support will make a huge difference to the work we're doing, and will be gratefully appreciated!

“This has genuinely been one of the best weeks of my life. It has truly restored my faith not only in the power of music, but in the importance of community and the ability of everyone to make the world better in a small way.” - Rachel (SOL cellist)

The Street Orchestra of London exists to bring high quality, live music to Everyone, Anywhere. We believe that everybody has an equal right to enjoy live, high-quality music – for free.

With your support, we can:
- Reach a wider audience, including hospice patients, care home residents and asylum seekers;
- Provide public performances free of charge in railway stations, parks, museums and public spaces;
- Redefine the classical music experience and take high quality orchestral music out of the concert hall;
- Support young musicians’ development in gaining experience in performing in unconventional spaces.
