Would you like a hand with your bags, Sir?

We managed to raise a total of £316 from the very generous shoppers at Tesco on yesterday.

A group of Young Volunteers from the Lighthouse Music Hub very kindly gave up their sunny Saturday to help out with some fund raising.

The Lighthouse is the Bay’s (and the South West’s) only young people’s music hub, run by the Devon Music Collective - a not-for-profit community organisation, set up in 2009 to provide opportunities for local people to make and experience music in all its forms.

The backbone of the project is their Rock School; from 4pm to 6pm on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays they run an after school drop-in for 14 to 18 year olds to learn new instruments, jam with friends and try their hand’s at song writing.

The Lighthouse is currently looking to expand what they offer to the rest of the community. If you need a place to hold musical events, or an idea for a project involving local people in music and the arts, they would love to hear from you. They would also like to get more people with different skills and backgrounds involved in the project, whether as a volunteer or by joining the Board of Trustees.
