Please donate to our Music Marathon to help young people with disabilities thrive through music: https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/okmusicmarathon26
All funds raised will go to OK Music School, where 80 excluded children and young people with disabilities are learning a skill and joyfully playing music in front of an audience, creating inclusive communities and unlocking potential, with 28 pupils having passed 60 music exams! As one parent told us:
βBeing able to read music and play piano means our autistic, non-verbal daughter can show the world that she is more than her diagnosis.β
