Red Admiral look to inspire more children to take musical flight

The Red Admiral Youth Academy is looking to raise enough money to get 50 brass instruments to pupils in local schools.

Red Admiral
  The Red Admiral Academy already links to schools in local communities.

The Red Admiral Youth Academy is setting its sight on trying to raise £1,500 to buy another tranch of 50 brass instruments for the children and communities of their local Croston, Mawdesley, Bretherton and Tarleton communities.

50 short

A spokesperson told 4BR: "We have spent all we can on brass instruments and are still short of 50 to take into local schools to give to local children. As an academy we teach music and especially brass instrumental playing in a fun environment.

We are short on funds to reach our next goal and with help we can provide instruments to another school and create even more enjoyment throughout our local area."
