STONEHAVEN FOLK CLUB IN PARTNERSHIP WITH HANDS UP FOR TRAD LAUNCHES FOLK IN CRISIS SUPPORT FUND WITH £5,000 INAUGURAL DONATION!
Folk at the Salmon Bothy will also make a substantial contribution from our reserves.
Stonehaven Folk Club recognises the catastrophic impact that Covid-19 has had on Scottish Folk Artists and their crew’s incomes. To help address this impact, the Club has teamed up with Hands Up for Trad to start up a fund to help support Folk musicians and music production staff living in Scotland during the crisis.
To launch the Fund, Stonehaven Folk Club is providing 20 grants of £250 to help towards living expenses during this period when affected individuals are unable to work. It is hoped this fund will grow with further donations from other organisations and the public.
To support this project please donate by going to the Fund’s JustGiving page – here https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/folk-in-crisis
