A primary school pupil with a passion for music has spent
‘lockdown’ learning the trade of a DJ and will this Sunday perform a live set on social media to raise money for the NHS.

Olivia, 10, who now goes by the stage name of DJ Livi, will perform her set at 4pm on Sunday 26 April and is encouraging everyone who tunes in to watch her on Facebook Live to donate funds to SaTH Charity.

SaTH Charity is a registered charity that makes a real difference to the patients, affected friends and family, and members of staff at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital and the Princess Royal Hospital in Telford.

Oliva already has close to 500 followers on Facebook – just search for DJ Livi – and is hoping to raise hundreds of pounds by performing a set of some of her all-time favourite tunes.
She will even be joined ‘virtually’ for a short period by celebrity MC LiveLee, who is coming out of retirement having previously performed all over the world.

Olivia said: “I love music and have really enjoyed teaching myself the art of a DJ during this lockdown period. To have the chance to perform live in aid of the NHS is just awesome. To be joined by MC Livelee, who is well known on the rave circuits and was the MC for DJ Vibes is just a dream come true and so exciting.

“It is great to have so many people following my Facebook page but what’s really important to me is that we raise as much money as possible for our local hospitals. My cousin, Arleana Hodnett, is a Staff Nurse in the A&E Department at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital as well as my aunty Lucy Harris who is a GP Sister - I know what an incredible job they both do and their colleagues every single day.”

Most of the hospital wards, departments and community healthcare services have dedicated funds within the charity, which means you can support the specific areas of our hospitals that are closest to your heart. The Charity enables the Trust to purchase state-of-the-art medical equipment in these areas, as well as enhancing and improving patient experience and comfort. In addition, the funds raised provide additional training for staff and fund medical research programmes.
