Hi!

As you may know, OK Music Trust was one of my chosen charities when I was mayor for the first time in 2019. OK Music Trust provides music therapy and lessons for children and young people with additional needs. The work they do is truly inspirational and as a result, I became one of their patrons.

Seven years on, I still love seeing the students making music and friends whilst benefitting from the therapeutic work they do with their teachers. I have watched as non-verbal students have literally found their voices and have become more confident.

And this year, I've been invited again to take part in their music marathon. The OKMT gang show their bravery each time they perform and now it is my turn to stand and deliver. The cost of providing services like these are rising and the need is rising too. Will you please sponsor me to sing to help raise funds for this great charity? Your contribution would mean a lot to the children and young people who benefit from OKMT's great work.

Thanks for listening. Come along to the event. I am singing around 1:30 if you want actual proof of my doing the challenge. I'll be the one standing to one side shaking with fear.

Best,

Nancy xx
