Concert for Dom set to raise charity funds and awareness

26 April 2018

Thank You for the Music is a concert being held at Harrogate Grammar School on the evening of Friday, 27 April 2018.

Dom was in the 6th form at the school, but sadly took his own life in 2017. The concert is about raising awareness and raising funds for supporting young people.

Dom’s family are supporting the event.

The family of Dom Sowa said:

Please support the school fundraising concert in Dom’s memory on Friday 27 April at 7pm in the Forum.

When Dom died we decided to try to make a positive difference so that others would hopefully avoid the same pain. We each chose a charity that reflected parts of Dom’s story.

If you can attend this fabulous fundraiser which school has organised with great dedication, please do so and if you can’t come you can still buy a raffle ticket for some fabulous prizes.

We’d like to thank you in advance for your support for what promises to be a very special evening and also to thank the school team and pupils who have been amazing.

 

 

Papyrus

This is a leading UK charity dedicated to the prevention of young suicide. They provide information and support for young people and worried friends and family through their website and hopeline which has an email option too. They believe that research shows most young suicide is preventable and encourage young people and their loved ones to seek help.

The Wave Project

This is a charity with bases around the UK. Using a combination of surfing, therapy and the ocean the volunteers help young people suffering from anxiety to gain confidence and celebrate their amazing life. They also run ‘beach schools’ – lessons and surf therapy combined so struggling young people can reintegrate into mainstream education. The nearest centre to Harrogate is in Scarborough.

RNLI

The RNLI is an incredible charity whose brave volunteers are dedicated to saving lives at sea through search and rescue, lifeguards, water education and flood rescue. Last year they saved 558 lives and rescued 23 people per day.
