We enjoy playing for other people but we get even more satisfaction from raising money for worthy causes while we play. We do this in three ways. Firstly, we organise our own fund raising gigs like the Song for Ollie gig featured on this page. Secondly, we try to raise money at events that other people organise and we will help other people who are raising money for a charity or worthy cause. Thirdly, we donate a proportion of any fees we make to the charities we support. Our fund raising is supported by Chalk Mountain  Education and Media Services.

Our 'Song for Ollie' gig was inspired by a little boy called Ollie. Thanks to the generosity of the people who came to the gig we raised over £2000 for Children with Cancer and Kids 'n' Cancer Charities. We wrote a Song for Ollie which is the soundtrack to the video and recorded a CD with 8 original tracks which we are selling for £5. All proceeds are being donated to charities that support children with cancer and their families. In July 2015 Ollie lost his battle with cancer but we will carry on our fundraising inspired by his example.

Adrian and Elizabeth Peak generously donated £450 to the charity's we are supporting and invited the band to play at their daughter's 30th birthday party. It was a great success and thanks to our hosts we raised another £250 on the day.
