Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Our lovely neighbour is a nurse for the NHS and three weeks ago we all stood outside our street to clap for the NHS, carers and key workers. She informed us of the tragic situations that are occurring in hospitals due to the coronvirus. Please click the link to see the action!!

I’ve been playing the saxophone for 17 years now and decided to do a one minute performance on our street in tribute to the key workers! To my amazement it has attracted lots of attention on all social media platforms and to use this to the NHS’s advantage I set up a donation page the following week!

The support that family, friends and the public have shown has been overwhelming and I’ve managed to raise over £1000 off my previous video!

BBC WM and The Express and Star have very kindly given me several opportunities on their platforms to raise even more money.

Every Thursday I will now be putting on a 20 minute show all in aid for the NHS charities together so please donate where possible how big or small! To access the show please log in to:
