We have raised over £173,00 for community and charity and it is something we are very proud of. Some of this money has been direct cash donations and some has been donations of food to food banks, pet food for the cat and dog home, free tickets to events and shows and much more.
What some of you may not realise, in addition to Sing in the City in 2020 we started our sister CIC (community interest company). You can read more about Chief Radio by clicking on the link but it was basically started to:
- Support unsigned independent bands and artists
- Provide music in our community workshops
- Be a radio station of choice that was indeed local
With Chief Radio we can get funding and we deliver FREE music sessions in schools and community centres around Edinburgh, Fife and the Lothians. By then end of 2024 will have provided over 36 care homes with a FREE Remember When session. Kirsty Baird visits the care home with a guitar, songs lyrics from the 40s,50s and 60s and takes a few Sing in the City members and take part in a good old fashioned sing a long. Kirsty’s mum has Alzheimers and she appreciates how important these sessions are.
You can now donate to our Sing in the City Dreampot or Chief Radio.
Chief Radio is a CIC so any profit we make goes back into the company. Here is where you can support our Remember when or music in the community classes.
Community is at the heart of everything that we do. #teamsitc #morethanachoir
This video was filmed over 2 busks. One at Silverknowes just getting them out and about at the Boardwalk Beach cafe and at the Mound in Edinburgh as part of the Missing Millions campaign. At least 200 members attended both events.
