“Help can come from many directions, or too often, not at all. What matters is that help does come to those who need it.

I have known Tamsin for some time now. We work together in the daily run of the music business and all it’s foibles. Over time, I have also learned how hard Tamsin and the team work to bring help to people living lives a long way from what we do day to day.

I think it is very valuable work and am delighted to be able to contribute in this very small way ”

- Chris White, Dire Straits’ Saxophonist
