Gloucester brewery to hold live music fundraiser for Read With Me
Read With Me are excited to be hosting an evening of live music, great food and even better beer, raising funds to improve children’s literacy. Currently 200,000 children leave primary school every year unable to read. This event will help us to fund the vital service that we offer to schools, free of charge, that sees volunteers providing one to one reading time to children twice a week. This not only builds a child’s confidence but allows them to develop a skill that will greatly enhance their life chances.
Held at Gloucester Brewery’s wonderful Warehouse 4 taproom on Thursday 20th April, the evening will feature live sets from SUSAN, Huw and The Greater Good and Pumpadelic. Three acts with their own distinct style; this event offers something for everyone. A mixture of fresh, raw, irreverent alt rock (SUSAN), songs of self-discovery, triumph and heartache (Huw and The Greater Good) and funk-punk-pop-disco (Pumpadelic), this promises to be a night to remember.
To accompany the entertainment there will be a supper available, on a pay as you feel basis. This can be washed down with some of Gloucester Brewery’s sustainably crafted beers and gins, with soft drinks available. There will also be a chance to win some great prizes during our raffle, with all proceeds helping to ensure every child in Gloucester learns to read well before they reach secondary school. The money raised from this event will allow us to offer our programme in even more schools, as the demand for our service grows. Tickets are just £10 (available here) and promise a full evening of entertainment for a great cause.
