We are  ABSOLUTELY ECSTATIC  to announce that our  Electric Umbrella K ick Starter campaign has reached it’s £5000 target against all odds. This has helped to secure the two current locations we have in Watford and Berkhamsted.

Although we reached our initial target of £5000, it is just the beginning of a very long process of finding funding and resources to continue the work we do, both geographically to reach people in other locations further afield, and into 2015 and beyond.

Thank you all  so so  much for all your pledges, and offers of help. We have been astonished by the overwhelming support we have received. We had 48 backers that supported our campaign, and we would like to thank each and every one of your for your contribution – please know that your contribution will go a long way to enrich the lives of the people we work with.

If you think you can help us in any way, please contact us. (At the moment we are especially keen to hear from anyone that might be able to help us with small print runs of flyers etc.)

We were delighted to recently recognise Paul Gershlick, Partner at VWV Law Firm in Watford, with our Corporate Ambassador Award . Paul first introduced Electric Umbrella to VWV and their wider network after inviting us to perform online at their 2020 PING conference. Since then, a real friendship was struck and Paul, along with his team at VWV Watford, have gone above and beyond to support Electric Umbrella. Whether it’s having us return to perform at future conferences, supporting us with in-office charity events and lunches, or attending our shows, Paul and the VWV Watford team have bought into the Electric Umbrella way. In addition to VWV Watford making Electric Umbrella their office charity of the year for two years running, Paul personally volunteers on a weekly basis at our Big Yellow Choir, where he was presented with his award by our CEO Mel and choir member Ali, earlier this month.
