SAM PROJECT

 Those who are recovering from mental health problems often face a tougher job at getting back into work than other people. However, these problems are widely misunderstood, and far more common than most people realise. At any one time in the UK, one in every six adults suffers from mental health issues (of varying severity). In spite of this fact, the past two years has seen a reduction of services for mental health service users. This has inevitably led to an increase in demand, - and it is out of this demand that The SAM Project has grown.

BIG BIG BIG CEILIDH!

Sat 9th October 2010

7.30pm – 11.30pm at Ropes Hall, Kesgrave Community Centre, Twelve Acre Approach, Kesgrave, IP5 1JF

THIS IS A CHARITY EVENT
in aid of  The Good Life Orphanage Kikambala, & the Feeding Station, Mtwapa, Kenya

If you are not able to come, donations or raffle prizes gratefully accepted to support our event.

In October 2009 Jane Emma and Bridget travelled to Kenya to volunteer at The Good Life Orphanage. As a result of that first trip, we are continuing to support the children living in the Orphanage, and surrounding areas, and Jane and Emma are returning to Kenya later this year. During our 2009 trip, we spent two Sundays at a local feeding station where each Sunday morning between 1,000 and 1,500 children do a very long, very hot walk from their remote villages to the feeding station. Here they receive a “square meal” of rice, beans, bread, and fruit, which is lovingly provided by the local Hindu community. The cost of providing everything for one lunchtime “feed” is £800. The funds raised at our Ceilidh will be contributing towards this, as well as going directly to the children living at The Good Life Orphanage.

Anything you can do to help will be very much appreciated – your money will go a long way - and we know from our own experience that monies raised are used solely for the benefit of the children we are seeking to support.

Thousands of unsigned singers entered last year and this year it's set to be even bigger! Open Mic UK is the national music competition for singers and solo artists in the UK. Acts that take part will be competing for the chance to make it to the Grand Final, at the 02 in London.
The competition travels across the country in the search for the UK's best singers, singer/songwriters, rappers and vocalists. It's open to all genres,

Acts can perform either covers or original material and they'll be invited to a live audition in front of the judging panel. Those who make it through the audition stage will go on to perform across the UK in live shows, in front of a live audience and judging panel, for the chance to sing at the Grand Final at the 02 in London. The panel is made up
of industry insiders, A&R, vocal coaches and guest celebrities.
There are plenty of opportunities to win prizes throughout the competition. There's over £50, 000 worth of prizes up for grabs and the winning act will be offered a recording and management contract to develop their music and release their single. Competing acts will also have the chance to perform live in some of the best music venues in the country.
The competition is divided into age categories; Under 18, 18-24 and 25 and over. All types of singers, vocal performers, groups and acoustic singer/songwriters are invited to enter Open Mic UK. It's all about finding an act that has the ability to become a professional recording artist.
