Story
We're trying to buy 100 of these £59.99 nylon string guitar packs for ex-homeless people who are learning to play guitar for the first time.
The Guitar Social Foundation run free guitar workshops every Thursday in hostels around the UK and we'd like to give each student their own guitar once they've completed the course. 100 guitars would allow us to do that.
We've contacted the seller (Gears4Music.com) who have confirmed that there are over 200 of these Classical Guitar Packs available for purchase. Each pack contains a nylon string guitar, spare strings, a carry case and a guitar tuner. Our goal is to buy 100 of these as graduation gifts for when the students complete the course in late Oct/Nov.
HOW YOU CAN HELP:
1. Donate - Our goal is to reach £6,000 so we can purchase 100 Classical Guitar Packs. If you'd prefer to donate a guitar please contact us here .
2. Volunteer - If you feel comfortable playing more than 5 chords on a guitar we could really use more teachers in the room with us . Contact us here
3. Spread the word - Small donations from many can go a long way, so if you have any ideas for how to get the word out there...we welcome them all :)
