The Magic Of Music: A Fundraiser For The Vineyard School

An Unforgettable Evening of Music and Community Impact

Join us for a heart-warming fundraiser that celebrates music, the community spirit, and the legacy of The Vineyard School. This is your opportunity to make a tangible difference in enhancing The Vineyard School Music Hub—where young talents can flourish and the community comes together.

How You Will Make a Difference
Imagine a space where children are inspired to explore music, where local teachers find a welcoming venue, and where the entire Richmond community joins together to foster a legacy of creativity. We're aiming to raise £60,000 for The Vineyard School Music Hub. Your support will go towards:

• music bursaries so more children can access quality tuition
• the creation of a musical instrument library, enabling children to practice at home
• building a dedicated soundproofed classroom, giving more children access to drum and band sessions
• adding essential soundproofing to the existing premises, creating an ideal learning environment

An Unforgettable Auction
Our spirited auction is not to be missed! With the help of the incredible auctioneers at The Auction Room, Twickenham, you can bid on exclusive items generously donated by Richmond businesses and members of the community, including:
