FluteCakes is a group of 14 adult flautists formed over 10 years ago. They are led by Tracey Stewart and Musical Director Heather Reed.
The group meet up once a month to rehearse, some in person and some via zoom. A feature of all rehearsals is a break for home made cake. They are a group of mixed ability including members that had not played since they were teenagers, members that have learnt as adults to support their children and some that have continued playing after school.
FluteCakes performed this Christmas Concert on Saturday 10th December 2022 at the United Church Dorchester, to raise funds for the Dorchester Child Contact Centre who hold sessions at the Church. They raised nearly £300, but are hoping to raise even more funds by sharing the audio of the concert for people who were not able to get to the concert. The concert has been lovingly mixed together by Tracey to produce this video to support the charity
If you enjoy the video we are grateful for any donations.
The Dorchester Child Contact centre, holds sessions at the United Church Dorchester and is a charity which provides a safe and neutral space for non-resident parents to come and build a relationship with their children. They have had a roller coaster year, and donations are very much needed to keep the service going. The high number of parents contacting the centre wanting to use their services shows they provide a much needed service.
The Centre is accredited by the National Association of Child Contact Centres to provide a ‘supported contact’ service.
Accredited child contact centres help parents and children in five main ways
- Provide a safe, neutral, welcoming space for children to spend time with parents (or other people important to them, such as grandparents).
- Support parents to help them prioritise the needs of their children post shows they separation.
- Promote mediation so that long-term solutions can be found to keep children in touch with both parents.
- Offer resources, information and advice for families dealing with separation.
- Provide specialist supervised interventions where children may be exposed to a higher level of risk.
