The beat has arrived!
Drumathon returns this year and we need your support to make an even bigger bang around the UK in 2012! Last year over 200 primary schools took part in our event and helped raise vital funds and awareness for deafblind children and adults across the UK. With your support this year will see more pupils and teachers getting creative in their schools and drumming up support for Sense in their local community!
What is Drumathon?
It’s simple - create a drum, chose a beat; make a difference! We hope children everywhere will make a real effort in creating imaginative drumming equipment from everyday household objects in the build up to their Drumathon and join us on Friday 22 June 2012 where schools and community groups everywhere will stop and think for just ten minutes about the value of sight and sound.
Register your school, nursery or youth group in our annual fundraiser and receive our easy-to-follow activity pack which slots effortlessly into everyday learning activity. We know that your school or group will benefit from this informative and imaginative day; at the same time supporting a great national charity. They’ll have so much fun – they won’t even realise they’re learning. To register please email Drumathon@sense.org.uk or call our fundraising team on 0845 127 0069.
