Music Man Abseil

THE patron of a music charity will abseil off Southend Hospital Tower Block to raise money for the charity’s special Broadway debut.
Former MP Anna Firth will be abseiling alongside the Music Man Project’s founder David Stanley, in memory of Sir David Amess MP.
Ms Firth said: “David Stanley and I are throwing ourselves off Southend Hospital’s 154ft tower block to raise vital funds to help get the Music Man Project to Broadway in memory of Sir David Amess MP.
“The Music Man Project is the most incredible charity that provides music and performance opportunities for children and adults with profound physical and learning disabilities.
“The charity was founded in Leigh by David Stanley BEM and championed by Sir David.
“It was Sir David’s dream that the Music Man Project would one day perform on Broadway. This October on the 5th anniversary of Sir David’s tragic death we are making that dream come true.
“This will be a momentous moment for the Music Man project as they take their talent and their story to one of the greatest stages in the world.”
At time of writing, Anna Firth’s fundraising page has raised £3,000 of its target.
The Music Man Project is an award-winning, world record breaking service for people with learning disabilities, providing music tuition leading to performance. Run by volunteers, the charity gives grants for accessible education, promotes equal access, carries out research and raises awareness.
A spokesman for Music Man Project said: “We’re incredibly grateful to Anna for this amazing gesture.
“Please support them both on their JustGiving page or message us for our bank details.
“You can also support them in person on Saturday 16th May between 9am and 11am as they take on the tower!”
