Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
When 'lockdown' was first introduced here in UK, I watched a news report from a City street, where some police officers where attempting to move people on. They approached a group of people who appeared to be lingering, one of whom responded with the question:
'What if you have no home to go to?'
I am very thankful to be comfortable and safe (and with family), during lockdown, but my heart goes out to those who have literally nowhere to go during this time and so vulnerable to all kinds of danger, not least COVID19.
'Off the Fence Trust' do a remarkable work caring for the homeless in Brighton & Hove, Sussex. Founder Paul Young writes (15/4/20):
"Our services are frontline, we have had to furlough some of our staff, and as a team we are giving 110%. On the flip side we have so many more clients. Yes, we have lost some major money especially with our sponsored events programme, but what has surprised me is how many trusts and foundations (that have worked with us for years) are asking us to write out major application forms - that takes hours."
"The choice I have daily: FRONTLINE or FUNDRAISE? That is such a difficult balance. But, together, we can get through this, and give an even better long term service to the City”

If you've enjoyed the music I've made and listened to it in the comfort of your own home, maybe you'd consider making a small donation to help those less fortunate.
I promise to keep making music (and photographing the garden) during lockdown in the hope that it blesses you, but maybe together we can help make a difference to the lives of vulnerable people too.
Thankyou, Nigel
