Get Dan Johnston to his awards ceremony!

!!FUNDRAISING UPDATE - WE'VE ACHIEVED OUR INITIAL TARGET!!

Thanks to the generous donations so far we've reached our first goal to get Dan to his awards ceremony!

Now we're trying to raise some extra cash to support the purchase of extra kit for his ever-growing band of musicians.

FULL STORY BELOW

Sheffield Music Hub need your help!

Our inspirational Music Leader Daniel Johnston has been nominated for the Instrumental / Vocal tutor of the year 2023 at the Music and Drama Awards in London.

He's travelling to London for the Awards Ceremony on the 23rd of February. We want to raise the money to cover the costs of his travel, overnight hotel and a ticket to the award ceremony and dinner. He's even borrowed a dinner jacket from his uncle so that he looks the part!

We believe that he shouldn't have to pay to celebrate his success and we need your help!

We're so proud of Dan, he was nominated due to his commitment to musical inclusion, developing the amazing Sheffield Youth Samba Band and working tirelessly to break down musical, social and cultural barriers. He inspires his pupils, their families, our schools and his colleagues at every turn.

We're delighted that his excellence and commitment have been recognised by the shortlisting panel at the Music and Drama awards.

Should we be lucky enough to exceed our target extra funds will go to purchasing extra musical equipment for his Samba band and drum pad sessions. Numbers in these groups are now so high we've run out of instruments!

If you've been touched by Dan's work you'll know just how special and talented he is. We'd be so happy to help him take this almightly pat on the back without it hitting his wallet!

Please donate and spread the word. He is already a winner in our eyes for getting shortlisted.

Go show the world Dan just how special you are and how fabulous music education in Sheffield is!
