Thank you for visiting my JustGiving page.

I’m raising funds for the Richard Shephard Music Foundation, a charity dedicated to providing music education to children and young people, particularly in Yorkshire. The foundation was created in memory of my friend, Dr Richard Shephard, an inspiring composer and educator. It works to break down barriers to accessing music, giving more children the opportunity to experience and enjoy it.

I recently published Wealden Roots, a book about my family history. Although I’m giving it away freely, many recipients have kindly asked how they can show their appreciation. If you'd like to do so, I suggest donating to the Richard Shephard Music Foundation. This cause is very close to my heart, as it supports vital musical education for children. Your donation, inspired by receiving my book, will make a meaningful difference to this important work.

Donating via JustGiving is easy, secure, and efficient. Your details are protected, and your donation will go directly to the charity, ensuring it benefits quickly and with no extra cost.
