We’ve reimagined our 2017 Christmas charity collab with @RogerDavies01 so that we can raise awareness for the incredible work that @simonotstreets do to help some of our most vulnerable at this time of year. 🎶���🤞

#WorldMentalHealthDay It doesn’t have to be this way, if you're struggling seek help and surround yourself with people who are ready to care and support you when YOU need it. It’s a long journey but you CAN take your life back! - https://t.co/vO1yJ65t9G

We’re sorry that we haven’t been quite so active as we’d like recently.


The truth is that setting up a new charitable organisation during a global pandemic is really tricky! 😅

'Bands are also supposed to be a reflection of the communities in which they stand, this simply isn't the case.'

@WeAreBAND co-founder Chris Hardy discusses the issue of discrimination within the Brass Band community and how B.A.N.D aims to defeat it.
