Hi all, my name is Ben and I will be Skydiving on the 19th of July to raise funds for the Music Venue Trust.

Within the last year, the UK has lost 2 Grassroots music venues per week. Iconic venues such as Printworks, Motion and The Leadmill have seen their doors closed for good due to a variety of reasons, however the most crucial is the financial struggle due to the current cost of living crisis.

The Music Venue Trust aims to support all grassroots venues by providing financial support in order to help save the UK's Music and Events industry. Please see the attached report to find out more.

MVT ANNUAL REPORT

If you are a regular enjoyer of Music Venues in the UK then we would like your support in order to achieve this fundraising goal!

Here’s how your support will help:

My fundraising target is £500.

If the target is met, £240 will go towards covering the cost of the tandem skydive — this has been pre-arranged and agreed with the charity.

If the goal isn’t met, 50% of the funds raised will still be donated to the charity.
