I'm really excited about Northern Noise Soul Club's charity event on the 3rd April at St. Joseph's, Chorley. We are raising funds for Blesma (the limbless veterans}. I investigated several charities who help ex servicemen and on the whole I found these the best. They spend less on administration than most of the others so more goes to help the veterans and less on executive wages and admin. Mentioning no names but some charities take as much as 98% on wages; they know who the...y are.
We have 14 dj's giving their time for free playing the best in Northern Soul, that's another 1 hour extension,.......thanks to St. Joseph's thanks to St. Joseph's for agreeing to that. We will be holding a raffle and any donations for raffle prizes would be greatly appreciated. Janet Carr kindly offered to run the raffle and also Karen has offered to help as well. So far we have a Northern Soul themed picture/display, signed Wigan and Widnes Rugby League shirts and a double decking session with me and my records at Northern Noise but only for a complete beginner (poisened chalice or what) as prizes. ALL proceeds raised from entrance fee, collection boxes and raffle will be donated to Blesma.
Everyone professes their appreciation of our servicemen but that's the easy bit. They gave their time and in this case their limbs for us, let's give them something tangible in return. We are trying to arrange someone from Blesma to come along and give a short speech on their behalf Ex veterans are particularly welcome wearing medals, service caps (optional) or in civvies we don't mind.
Please share and if humanly possible attend the event. I guarantee it will be worth travelling for. This is one of the top soul events in the North West if not the whole country with people regularly travelling from all corners of the country. If you could only make it for a couple of hours that helps our disabled veterans.
