No matter what bands we like or festivals we choose to attend we all share one huge thing in common...our love for spending time surrounded by our friends listening to great music.
December 2022 was an extremely sad month as we lost our friend, one of the biggest supporters of new music and up and coming bands, our fairy rock mother Tina Sherwood.
Her zest for life, her passion for music and her warm hearted kindness are missed daily by every person that was lucky enough to know her.
Zhany Hughes is one of the faces behind DesTINAtion 2023 which is a one day event held on Saturday 15th July at The Corporation, Sheffield to celebrate Tina's life and to raise as much money for the charities chosen by her family in her memory. Have a listen to our chat to find out more about this fantastic fundraising event in memory of Tina Sherwood.
The chosen charities are listed below:
Danielle's Flutterbyes is a charity aiming to help young adults between the ages of 18-40 living with Kidney disease. Kidney disease has no cure, you can only prolong life by receiving a transplant or dialysis. People receiving treatment have to endure so much. It's extremely invasive, not only to their bodies but also their lives. Dialysis for 4 days a week and 4 hours per session leaves very little time for a job, hobbies, friends or a social life, the things young people should never have to go without.
HF Trust, one of the largest and longest-established charities supporting people with learning disabilities. There are currently 1.5 million people with a learning disability in the UK and the money raised for this charity. The HF Trusts Fusion Model of Support is based on the concept of Person-Centred Active Support (PCAS) – a way of supporting people so that they are engaged in meaningful activity and relationships as active participants. And as a result, they exercise more control over their lives and experience greater levels of inclusion, independence and choice. Hft staff teams use the Fusion Model to support more than 2,500 people with learning disabilities nationally to achieve the best possible outcomes.
As well as organising the event some of the desTINAtion team members are going to do something a little bit crazy to help raise some extra funds follow the link to visit their crowdfunding page:
