CHARITIES

The aim of all GT Live Sessions events is to promote and celebrate local live music, whilst supporting local songwriters and performers. However it was clear from the beginning that, with the help of sponsors, it would be possible to raise some money for charities at the same time. So far, all of the One Summer’s Day festivals and all of the One Winter’s Night concerts have been charity events. For each event, Gavin always donates half of everything raised to Guildford’s Royal Surrey County Hospital, picking a different ward or appeal each time. The other half of the money raised goes to a specific local or national charity or cause.
