Huge shout-out to our incredible pupils who absolutely smashed face painting last week.
We headed to Littlebourne Primary School to transform 30 nervous Year 3 pupils into zombies, monsters, vampires and demons for their Michael Jackson Thriller performance — all in one hour.
Despite late arrival (hello Canterbury traffic ), and having to improvise when our face paint kit was accidentally left behind… the pupils didn’t just cope — they soared. Smiles on, stress off, chatting to the kids, calming nerves, and delivering magic.
To top it all off, the children gave us a special dress rehearsal, followed by hugs, happy tears, and promises to come back because we’d “made them so happy.” We left buzzing — and deservedly so.
What a team. What a day.

A Huge Thank You to Benenden School
We are incredibly grateful to Benenden School for their very generous donation of £1,937.33!
Their talented music scholars took on the amazing challenge of learning a new instrument in just 4 weeks and then performed a charity concert to raise funds for us.
Thanks to their hard work and generosity, we’ve already been able to purchase clarinets and a drum kit, bringing even more music into the lives of our students.
We can’t thank Benenden School enough for supporting our mission and inspiring others through their dedication and talent!
