Candice is raising funds to purchase equipment and cover costs of delivering accessible band clubs for children and young adults in secondary schools. Water Wham is a band involving a group of 12 Year 9 Secondary school children, which are now in their 5th year together. The Scouts Band, which first formed in December 2023, is a group of Scouts from 2nd Teddington Scout Group, including other musicians from local scout groups. Both bands have been invited to perform at various community events around Richmond-Upon-Thames, including The Jack Petchey Awards, Teddington Athletics Club Christmas Party, Archdeacon Summer Fair, Lincoln Avenue Street Party, other local street parties, Scout AGMs. Money raised funds additional equipment, including a Slingerland Drum Kit, Lighting equipment, insurance and running costs. Any donation is greatly received, with every donation received for a Scout Band performance going directly to 2nd Teddington Scouts Group. Fund-raising is currently aimed towards upgrading the PA system, Bass amp, and adding additional AV equipment. With funding Candice is hoping to offer further performance opportunities for the bands, and continue to build on offering community music experiences.

Candice is co-founder & member of local band The UV Spirals.
