Last years 1000 instruments challenge provided us with many amazing instruments to repair, reimagine and of course, play! This year, we're asking for donations once again, as we look to continue fixing and selling instruments on our online store and in our wonderful emporium.
Your donations help us create amazing music experiences with learning disabled people. In May of this year, we opened the doors to our emporium, a space for our members to express themselves and enjoy the wonderful world of Electric Umbrella, while gaining valuable skills and life experiences.
Long-time member Hayleigh, 29, particularly enjoys customer service, working closely with staff and her friends to welcome guests, demonstrate products and process sales, she said:
“The Emporium is like my second home. It’s a brilliant place, if you’re feeling sad you can come in and you will leave feeling happy.”
Last year donated instruments made a huge difference us, as we raised an enormous £25,000 enabling us to deliver an additional 1,572 hours of work based activity at the Emporium. But now we have a problem - we are running out of instruments!
Your unwanted instruments can be dropped off at the Emporium Monday - Saturday from 10am to 5pm. Alternatively, they can be sent for free from your local post office.
