Digital Piano
Local Charity helps pay for new piano
Residents at a Teddington care home are now able to listen to a new digital piano, after a grant from a Twickenham trust. The Kathryn Turner Trust – a Twickenham based charity which helps young and elderly people in hardship – donated cash towards the £600 piano to the Homemead home, run by housing charity Central & Cecil, after an application by Elizabeth Sen, whose mother Shelia Hughes is a resident. Kevin Bradley – the pianos tuner at the 30 bed Park Road care home – acquired the instrument and staff and family members have already put it to use.
It is kind gestures such as these which make us who we are. To put that much money toward a very un-heard of charity and buy a new piano is truly special. The Twickenham charity has actually been around for over thirty years or so but they rarely make donations as they are such a small business. They run out of South London and occasionally put money back into the community in order to help more needy members of the public.
To buy a digital piano for this care home is truly a unique way of saying that people care about this home and it is special to the community. The Kathryn Turner Trust has always been known to help the elderly and younger members of our generation in their search for a much better life. Yet it wasn’t until earlier in this year when the Kathryn Turner Trust announced that they will be closing their doors later on this year due to a lack of funds and support from the Government. It is just typical that the council would put a stop to something genuine as the Kathryn Turner Trust. I don’t see the problem with giving support to smaller and more local businesses because this is fundamentally the backbone to our economy. We should be embracing much smaller businesses starting up in this country but unfortunately, due to the current state of the economy that is simply not possible.
