At Cloth Cat, we're trying to raise the funds to set up a brass band in a local primary school in Leeds. This Saturday, the amazing Jon Scully, is running not just Twin Peaks, but 24 miles of the Yorkshire Three Peaks (Whernside, Pen-y-ghent and Ingleborough). We've set up a Just Giving page, and we're over half way towards our target, so please let's make this happen so we can give young people the chance to come together, learn instruments, make friends, have fun and gain all the amazing benefits of music education. https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/jons3peakchallenge

Jon Scully will be running the Yorkshire Three Peaks on 2nd May 2026 to raise money for a Cloth Cat brass band project. This will enable young people to come together to learn to play instruments and establish a brass band at a local primary school.
