Will Lawton’s Rhythm Practice

Local music therapist Will Lawton plans to open a Music Therapy practice in early 2021, based at The Pound Arts Centre in Corsham. The service will help develop a positive change in the well-being of individuals of all ages through the creative use of music, facilitated by trained music therapists. Can you help Will reach his target?

In total, ยฃ8500 is required in order to equip a room with high quality music instruments and equipment. ยฃ6000 of this target has already been pledged by the council and a school, leaving an outstanding balance of ยฃ2500. This final balance must be found in order to unlock the rest of the grant funding to bring this project to life.

Chandra Finds Heaven on Earth

Itโ€™s called Heaven on Earth; if Belinda Carlise made it, Chandra rocked it! Punchy, tick. Find that perfect hook, tick. Subtly righteous narrative, tick. Balance pithy narrative with equalโ€ฆ
