The Friends of Bury Music are a registered charity, raising funds to support the work of Bury Music Service. We have been doing this since 1976, when our charity was founded to support Bury Schools Music Centre. We believe every child within the Bury area should have the opportunity to learn to play a musical instrument. We also want children to have the experience and pleasure of taking part in musical activities and ensembles, especially as so many schools do not offer music as part of their curriculum. Access to learning an instrument should not be elitist! The money we raise goes towards: bursaries for those that want to learn an instrument but find the fees a barrier; buying new musical instruments for the pupils to play; hiring concert venues in which the pupils can perform (RNCM, Stoller Hall, Peel Hall); buying new sheet music for all of the playing groups and bands, and supporting summer musical tours that are organised approximately once every two years, pandemics allowing, for the senior orchestra and concert band. The Friends are all parents of children who are currently with or have been with the music service. We give up a few hours of our time every month to help fundraise. We also run our café Rhythm and Brews at the music centre on a Saturday morning, including our ever-popular tuck shop.

We were set up to support children and young people up to age 25 with additional needs, disabilities or life-limiting conditions, as well as the families who care for them. Our mission is simple: to make life a little easier and a little brighter during challenging times. We do this by granting small wishes, such as sensory toys, sensory items or special experiences; providing essential equipment that improves comfort, independence or daily living; and offering discretionary grants to parents and carers facing the financial strain of long-term hospital stays, travel costs or food vouchers while staying in hospital. Zak’s Wish works closely with local families, schools, and community groups across Corby and surrounding areas, ensuring support is fast, accessible and genuinely meaningful. Every wish we grant is a tribute to Zak’s legacy—spreading kindness, easing pressure and bringing joy to young people who need it most.

Empowering Rural Communities to Alleviate Poverty Through Sustainable Change Who We Are The Hummingbird Initiative is a UK-registered Charitable Incorporated Organisation, working in Kenya, with our current focus in Kanjoo, Meru County. Founded by Winky Skevington and Will Travers OBE, our mission is to improve the quality of life and raise the standard of living for rural communities in Kenya—especially through education, supported by access to basic amenities, healthcare, economic empowerment, and sustainable infrastructure. Our name comes from a well-known story of a tiny hummingbird trying to put out a raging forest fire by carrying droplets of water in its beak. When other animals laugh at its effort, the hummingbird simply says, “I’m doing what I can.” That message lies at the heart of our work: we believe that every contribution, no matter how small, can make a meaningful difference when combined with the efforts of others. Our Mission and Approach Poverty is complex and interconnected, so we must look at the whole picture. Education, health, water, and economic opportunity all depend on one another. When children can learn without hunger in safe, well-equipped classrooms and families no longer spend hours fetching water, they gain the time and energy to study, work, and create opportunities for a brighter future. By addressing these needs together, we foster lasting, sustainable change.
