The Lisa May Foundation
(UK, 1108763) Browse events
YTD Raised: £1,201.00
(UK, 1108763) Helping people in Surrey Heath and across the globe. The Lisa May Foundation supports selected local charities in Surrey, Hampshire and Berkshire, at the same time raising funds for victims of natural disaster across the world. The charity was founded after Surrey Heath Councillor John May lost his daughter Lisa to the tsunami that devastated Thailand on Boxing Day 2004. Surrey Heath Councillor and successful businessman John May raised his five adored children to live life to the full. When one of his daughters announced her intention to marry in Thailand, John and his youngest daughter Lisa accompanied her to celebrate the special event. After the wedding, Lisa decided to extend her stay on the island of Phi Phi and, tragically, became one of the thousands of victims who lost their lives in the tsunami that devastated Thailand on Boxing Day 2004. In response to their sense of deep personal loss, the May family decided to celebrate Lisa’s memory by forming the Lisa May Foundation, to raise money to help victims of natural disasters. The May family motto is Fortitudo, Amicitia et Famila which translated means, Courage, Friendship and Family. In 2010, as Mayor of Surrey Heath, John saw that local charities had a huge need for support and decided to re-launch the Foundation as an umbrella organisation helping specific local charities, as well as continuing to raise funds for victims of natural disaster.

The OHMI Trust
(UK, 1143623) Browse events
YTD Raised: £1,060.00A charity breaking down barriers to music making for physically disabled people. Orchestral instruments that can be played without two fully functioning hands are extremely rare. This denies unlimited participation in musical life, at the highest level, to millions, including people with congenital disabilities and amputees as well as those who may have been injured, suffered a stroke or developed arthritis. The primary obstacle is the absence of suitable instruments. Finding instruments... The OHMI Trust was formed in 2011 and is doing ground breaking work by solving this problem through an annual competition. Through the competition we now have instruments of an exceptionally high standard that are playable without the use of one hand/arm. With these instruments, the OHMI Trust is launching a pioneering music teaching project in Birmingham, where 15 children aged between 7 and 11 years of age with an upper limb disability have the opportunity to learn a musical instrument. The children will work with world class musicians from the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and get the best quality teaching from specially selected teachers from Services for Education in Birmingham. This is an extroardinary opportunity for children with upper limb disabilities to learn alongside their peers, without any limitations imposed by their instrument. Teaching instruments... The OHMI Trust is currently raising funds to roll this pilot scheme out to Bristol and Surrey in the near future and aims eventually for this provision to become part of core music education, so having a disability is not a barrier to music-making at the highest level. Raising awareness of the current inequality... We also do what we can to raise awareness with governments, musical instrument makers and others so that together we can work towards practical solutions that will allow those with physical disabilities have completely equal access to musical participation at whatever level they choose. All donations will help OHMI to continue our extroardinary work in breaking down barriers to music participation for those with disabilities.
