Plastic help for disability charity

A brand new plastic brass band hopes to raise funds for a great charitable cause.

  If you have a plastic instrument then why not help a great charitable cause.

A brand new Plastic Brass Band is being formed to specifically help raise money for charity.

It is for a one-off event later this year, where the band will perform an hour of 'plastic music' to help raise funds for the disability charity MK CIL (Centre for Integrated Living)

Unique band

Organiser Chris Johnston told 4BR: "We hope this unique band will be able to raise funds for such a worthwhile cause — and have plenty of fun in the process. We have a crowdfunding page and Plastic Brass T shirts for sale so all profits go to the charity.

Disabled people across the UK need help and are getting lost in our society, so I would like to see if we can help them in anyway we can!"
