“Our thanks to The Larry Slattery Fund for the grant we were given for music tuition giving our Cadets the opportunity to learn an instrument and be part our our Squadron Band, and also for the band equipment, without their help we would not have a band.” Squadron Band

“Many Thanks to you and the Trustees for your kind support.”  Jazz Drummer

“The Fund came in when we really needed help.  My son Simon had grown out of his previous teacher who taught him once every 2 weeks. His teacher referred him to a performing pianist, and the fund has helped secure weekly lessons for which we are deeply grateful for. With lessons from the new teacher, Simon has learned performing technique and received good reviews.”

“East Kent Holiday Music has benefited hugely from decades-long financial assistance from The Larry Slattery Memorial Fund. Our charity hosts an annual week-long children’s summer music course and the donations we receive has ensured that we have enough funds to assist parents with the course fees for children who might otherwise have not been able to attend”
