On Saturday 7th June at 11:00 AM, families, supporters and friends of Music 4 U will gather at Aberdeen Beach for a symbolic walk of 500 steps led by one of the charity’s most inspiring young participants, Corey.
This special event is a celebration of the progress made so far in Music 4 U’s 500 4 500 campaign and highlights the young people and families whose lives are being positively transformed through Music 4 U’s work.
At the heart of the walk is Corey’s story. His family was told he would never walk, never talk and never connect with the world around him. But today, thanks to consistent support and belief - and his journey with Music 4 U - Corey is walking, singing, dancing and leading the way forward.
Simply download our FREE Sponsorship Form, collect donations from friends and family and bring the donations along with you on the 7th June to put in our Collection Buckets! Questions? Email: info@m4u.org.uk
Why should you join us?
This walk is about more than just steps taken but of barriers overcome. It aims to demonstrate the power of community, inclusion and belief in what young people with additional support needs can achieve when given the right support.
It also sends a clear message to the local business community: Music 4 U is calling for more companies to step forward, join the 500 4 500 campaign and help continue this vital work. Their involvement directly supports life-changing opportunities for young people in Aberdeen.
Music 4 U’s 500 4 500 campaign invites individuals, businesses and organisations across Aberdeen and Shire to raise or donate £500 in support of young musicians of all abilities and backgrounds. Significant support has already been received from local schools, generous individuals and local companies including RBC Brewin Dolphin, Keenan Recycling, Aberdeen Trinity Centre, PCL Live, Corry & Christie Optometrists, Studio 10, On Purpose, CNOOC, HS Hygiene Services and Events In Partnership.
Now, Music 4 U are turning the spotlight to the participants and families they support - the people at the very core of what they do. For many of Music 4 U’s participants this event marks their first opportunity to take part in the 500 4 500 campaign in a visible and personal way. It’s a chance to celebrate their progress, their strength and their place in Music 4 U.
In line with the wider 500 4 500 campaign, which is asking 500 businesses to each donate £500 to help Music 4 U reach its £250,000 fundraising target, walkers are being invited to contribute in their own way. The goal for the day is simple: to have £500+ in the charity buckets by the end of the event. There is no individual fundraising target; instead, walkers are encouraged to collect sponsorships or donations and bring whatever they’ve raised to the event. Music 4 U will have charity buckets available to collect all contributions and every penny raised will support the ongoing work Music 4 U does to provide opportunities for young musicians across Aberdeen and Shire.
Join the walk on Saturday 7th June at 11AM, Aberdeen Beach - Meeting Point: The Highlander Cafe Bus - walk with Corey, walk with Music 4 U’s families and walk in support of a future where every young person can thrive through music.
