Huge thanks to all those who made this wonderful event happen. A lot of spare time was given up learning songs, rehearsing and organising as well as on the night of the performance. Thank you to everyone who came, bought a ticket and donated. We had a lot of fun but most importantly we raised another £485 for Naja’s gofundme. ❤️

GOFUNDME UPDATE!

Hello everyone!

We have hit our goal of getting Naja booked in for treatment! How amazing! Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

This means that I have been able to book in her treatment in Germany!

She is due for admission on 23rd March in Freiburg.

Any further funding will go towards covering travel costs, such as hotels and transport. We will also be putting it towards the loan that has been taken out via Naja’s mother. So, any further support will be so, so appreciated.

Again, thank you all, you’re all amazing.

Here’s to getting Naja her treatment.

The campaign helped raise awareness and channel much-needed funds — and we’ve learned that this spirit of giving is something really special. Thank you all 💛
