I was lucky enough to be able to attend the fundraising gig put on for us by Forever Young, a Sheffield based band that counts among its members Peter Bull, our long serving trustee and treasurer. Rather than counting our funds he was counting time as they played a selection of hits from the 60s, 70s and 80s.
There was an amazing turnout at Walkley Community Centre - almost 100 people came to enjoy the music, and contribute to Golden Futures. We raised £475.92 in total through donations and by selling raffle tickets, which is all going to support our work in Cambodia, principally that with the Countryside Education Project.
Following a short introduction from the Chair of the trustees, we also showed a video made by Dang Kosal, an NFC graduate who now works in the Cambodia television industry. It has a powerful message about the importance of education and the way it can change lives. You can see the video again here.
Thanks to everyone who came and contributed, and particularly to Gerry's Café and Beeches Farm Shop for their kind donations of raffle prizes.
