If music be the food of love, bid on and share the love with people in Wales this Valentine’s Day 2018!
Live Music Now Wales delivers over 450 exceptional live music performances and workshops to vulnerable groups across the country every year! Working with outstanding early career professional musicians of all genres, they train and develop them to transform the lives of isolated elderly, those living with dementia and mental health challenges, children and youth with special educational needs and disabilities, and families in deprivation and rural isolation. They are the only national arts charity in Wales committed to working in each of the 22 Welsh counties annually – and they need YOUR help to share the love this Valentine’s and help them reach more people across Wales with the transformative and healing power of live music.
Share The Love is an annual online silent auction event to raise funds for the work of LMN Wales, with 2018 the first year! Generous businesses and individuals from across the country have donated a range of amazing gifts and experiences for anyone to bid on and grab a bargain, whilst supporting our work.
Between 1st-14th February 2018 you can bid on the event on our LMN UK Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/events/186574835410020/, OR you can submit closed bids for the list below by emailing [email protected]. Bids are accepted from 1st Feb until noon on February 14th when winners will be announced and contacted for payment and given details to claim their prize. A minimum bid of £5 is requested for all LOTS which means you really could grab a brilliant offer, and a unique prize.
The full list of items will also be posted here on the LMN website livemusicnow.org.uk, and we will be promoting the businesses who have donated items on the event page and Twitter throughout the first two weeks of February. You can help us raise more funds and share the love further by sharing this event with your friends and encouraging them to get involved!
