Over the past couple of weeks Natsumi Inaba and Fumika Kimura (both members of Foden's Band) have been busy arranging a number of fund raising events to help raise funds and awareness for the 'British Red Cross Japan Tsunami Appeal'

Ian Clowes of Goldy Solutions kindly donated two pictures of Foden's that he had previously taken at Chester Cathedral, which were subsequently auctioned over the past two weekends during Foden’s concerts in Crawley and Ipswich and which raised nearly £300.

Natsumi and Fu also organised a charity concert aided by Marrianne Garbutt from Salford University and Tim Hewitt from Hammonds Saltaire Band conducted by Richard Evans and Dr Roy Newsome raising £600.
