Join Meningitis Now for the Hearts in Harmony concert
Join us on 6 July for the Hearts in Harmony fundraising concert – and share the love and the music
We’re thrilled to be one of the four charities to be supported by the online event, which will be streamed from 6 July.
Tickets are now on sale for the concert, which will feature three hours of musical entertainment from five different acts.
MC for the event will be guitar maestro Gordon Giltrap MBE, who said: “I hope with all my heart that funds raised will help to relieve some of the suffering. Please be as generous you can.”
Lifesaving and life-changing work
As well as supporting our lifesaving and life-changing work the concert will support BloodCancerUK, HfT (services for people with learning difficulties) and ThisisLuke.
Many of our supporters will know the story of Luke, who lost his hands and legs to meningococcal meningitis when he contracted the disease in December 2019.
Following a five-month hospital stay - during which he had 23 operations - Luke, 7, was able to return home to Skipton.
Live life to the fullest
Luke, who played in the junior team at Skipton RFC, has been supported by the whole rugby family, who have helped to raise funds to ensure he can live his life to the fullest.
His father Adam said: “Luke constantly amazes us with the way he handles all the new challenges in his life.”
He is currently having ongoing physiotherapy to enable him to learn to stand and walk again and eventually learning to use prosthetics.
Musical friends
The idea for the concert came from RareOccasion (Judy Dunlop, Nigel Corbett, Jon Scaife), having wanted to do something to support the organisations who positively affect the lives of loved ones.
It soon expanded to include musical friends Offshoots, SomeAntics, NewHorizons, BlairDunlop and AshleyHutchings – all instantly agreeing to be part of the event to help others.
The music will be folk, with elements of jazz and more – all played by wonderfully talented musical performers.
Being online, the event will have a global audience, and profits will be shared equally between the four causes.
Tuning in
Leah Wynn, our Fundraising Officer, said: “We're thrilled to have been selected as one of the charities supported by the Hearts in Harmony concert.
“I’m already looking forward to tuning in, and can't wait to see all of the fantastic acts that are lined up.
“Please join us at what promises to be a memorable event.”
