Camberwell Choir School at Blenheim 2007

The Blenheim Triathlon · 2 June 2007 ·

Established in 1990, Camberwell Choir School (CCS) is a music and arts project for children and young people aged 0-18 in inner-city south London. The emphasis is on learning musical skills while having fun. Children, staff and volunteers all reflect the diversity of the local community, and we're proud to have as our patron international opera star Sir Willard White. We particularly aim our sessions at children and young people who would not otherwise have the opportunity to access high quality music tuition, through cost or social exclusion. We charge just £1 for our sessions, including small group teaching on piano, guitar, violin, brass, tuned percussion and drums. By giving to us, you help over 100 children and young people gain confidence through playing and performing, acquiring musical skills that stay with them for life. There’s increasing evidence that learning music helps with wider schoolwork, too.

Camberwell Choir School (CCS) is a music project for children and young people aged 0-14.  We meet on Saturdays during term-time and sessions happen at different times depending on age—see When/Where?

Camberwell is one of the most deprived areas of London.  We offer confidence building musical, dramatic and artistic activities for the children of the area.  I teach guitar.  We need your funds to keep providing these activities with our small and dedicated crew of staff.  At the moment about 70 -  100 children come through our doors every Saturday to learn and have fun in a safe environment.

Please dig deep and sponsor me online.  Last year the Blenheim Tri was cold wet and miserable! Less Mr D'Arcy throwing himself in the pond, more the March of the Penguins.  My swimming was so slow that a swallow circled my head as I swam in splendid isolation!  So you can see, I'm doing it again, we really need the money!

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Camberwell Choir School will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
