Emergency request for homeless help

A Manchester based charity is looking for a bit of brass ensemble help.

 

An emergency request has gone out for a small brass ensemble to help a volunteer charity with their Jubilee Party this weekend.

Difficult circumstances

This weekend the Lifeshare Charity will be serving breakfast to people in Manchester who are homeless or living in other difficult circumstances and normally get about 75 people coming to enjoy some wonderful help and support.

Wonderful

Organiser Tracey Cruise told 4BR: "It would be wonderful if a small ensemble could help us out with such a great cause for the Jubilee between 2.00pm and 4.00pm. We can pay expenses and the food is brilliant all day from local restaurants. A bit of brass music would top it all off!"
