Gig raises money for charity in East Kilbride

A group of fundraising rockers recently hosted a night of live music in a bid to raise money for a mental health charity in East Kilbride.

The concert, which was held was on 9th May at the Legends venue, featured a host of local bands, singers and songwriters.

Tickets for the event were priced at £3 and all proceeds were donated to the National Schizophrenia Fellowship, which is also known as Support in Mind. The night featured acts such as Amanda Coffield and The Clock. New band Flight also made their live debut at the gig.

Charity events like this are usually promoted using flyer and poster printing. East Kilbride residents often rely on gig Flyers and Posters, as well as social networking websites like Facebook and Twitter, to find out about events.

Promoters depend heavily on a mixture of traditional printed promotional materials and newer online methods in order to attract audience members. This is even more important when the funds being raised are for charity, as the more an event is promoted, the higher the chances are of it raising a significant amount of money.

The National Schizophrenia Fellowship works to empower and support people who are affected by mental illness. The organisation has struggled to match its funding year on year, so successful events like the recent East Kilbride fundraising gig are crucial to its survival, and donations like those from the organisers help the group to continue to provide support to those in need.
