On 20th February 2024 Danetre Ukulele Orchestra welcomed representatives from Daventry DemCafe and the Daventry Branch of Guide Dogs for the Blind. The Orchestra donate a substantial proportion of the donations they receive for their gig perfomances during the year.
For 2023 the Orchestra voted to have two local charities - Daventry DemCafe and the Daventry Branch of Guide Dogs for the Blind. Cheques were presented to Mary and Brenda from the Demcafe and Rachael accompanied by Jack her faithful guide dog and her Mum, Jackie from the Daventry Branch of the Guide Dogs for the Blind.
Both charities explained to the Orchestra how these donations would be used and expressed their thanks.
One of our members even thought to bring along some doggie treats for Jack!
After the presentations the representatives stayed to join in with the songs at our rehearsal which followed.
