"A SPECIAL concert was held at Trinity Church Hall in Rushams Road, Horsham, in order to raise money for The Children's Trust based in Tadworth.

Twenty talented piano and keyboard students aged eight to 17 from the Horsham and Crawley area played a selection of music from Bach and Beethoven to jazz and blues to an enthralled audience of family members and friends.

Horsham Piano Centre supplied a Yamaha grand piano for the evening on May 14 which was generously sponsored by Dr Hwa-Lon Liu of Holbrook Surgery. Angelus Violins of Storrington sponsored the music-themed raffle prizes.

The concert, which also coincided with National Doughnut Week, ran very smoothly thanks to the help of Angela and Clive Jones of Storrington.

Organiser of the event, Mark Reeves, who has a private teaching practice based in Horsham, praised all his students for playing to a very high standard."

Dear Mr Reeves

Thank you from everyone at The Children's Trust for your kind donation of £327 raised at your Piano & Keyboard students' concert in support of National Doughnut Week. Please pass on our thanks to all your students who took part and helped to raise much needed funds for our work.

The Children's Trust is a fantastic charity, we transform the lives of the most disabled children in the UK by providing care, education and therapy. We also provide rehabilitation services to children with an acquired brain injury.

One of our current challenges is to raise £7.2m to build a new national rehabilitation centre for children with acquired brain injuries. Our new centre will be a wonderful purpose designed environment where these children - from all across the UK - can come to receive round the clock medical care and still enjoy space to play and be with their families.

You can find out about what we do or how you can get involved by taking a look at our website - www.thechildrenstrust.org.uk.

Thank you once again for all your fundraising efforts for the Trust; your support really will change the lives of the very special children in our care. If you need any further information or resources please do not hesitate to get in touch - I would be only too delighted to hear from you.

With kind regards,

Lisa Tingley
