The trustees of The Helen Foundation wish to thank the generous team at Ye Olde Jolly Sailor pub in Teignmouth – Kevin, Joe and Sam – for their amazing support on Easter Saturday when they organised and ran a special evening of live music in support of The Helen Foundation.

Oli Nedler, the Resophonics, Nicole Wakeling, The Freak Bruvvers and Temporary Mind (the resident Jolly Sailor band) all generously performed free to boost the foundation funds.

Everyone had a superb evening and we wish to thank all those lovely people who contributed to our foundation and the staff and friends who ran the bucket collections.

Every penny raised goes towards supporting young people in Teignbridge in their ambitions in the arts, providing workshops, awards in schools and individual bursaries. It was a terrific event which raised £200 and we also thank Teign Music for its support.
