Nottinghamshire Police Band Charity Concert

About

Friday 24 April 2015 from 7.30pm

The Nottinghamshire Police Band is to perform in a glittering charity concert at Nottingham's St Mary’s Church attended by the Lord Lieutenant, the High Sheriff, the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress, The Sheriff of Nottingham and Nottinghamshire’s Police and Crime Commissioner. 

A selection of popular and classical music will be performed by this highly-regarded, local band under the musical-directorship of Gary Glover ARCM.

All proceeds from ticket sales will go to two local charities: Emmanuel House which was founded in 1976 in faith and supports homeless, vulnerable or isolated adults in and around Nottingham.  It provides diverse and accessible services that meet basic need and empower individuals to make positive changes in their lives. It welcomes 60 – 90 visitors each weekday and 30 – 50 at weekends.  Emmanuel House provides the basic needs for the homeless and vulnerable adults in the city – the day centre, the only one of its kind in Nottingham - is open 365 days a year and provides additional support services, trained professionals and a core programme of social activities encouraging positive change.  Its emphasis is on practicalities as well as offering an environment without judgement for those in need.

And ‘Help a Nottinghamshire Child’ which is a pioneering campaign that aims to provide free citizenship and legal education to children living in Nottingham City and county.  Its purpose is to teach all young people about the law and what happens if they break the law, the consequences of their action on the wider community and about the careers available to them within the justice system. The education programmes are provided by the National Centre of Citizenship and the Law (NCCL) at The Galleries of Justice Museum and are designed to help develop young people’s understanding of the law and how to live within it; preventing and reducing crime through early intervention and preventative education.

Tickets are available in advance from www.gigantic.com at a cost of £7.50 per person or £25.00 for a family ticket.  Tickets will also be available on the door at a cost of £10 or £8 concession.

Homemade cakes and refreshments will be available during the interval.
