#WSOSolidarityMission replaced #LockdownSolidarity as my main fundraising push for We Shall Overcome.

All money raised by music and merch sales, all gig fees over and above expenses, and all donations passed to me on the road were split four ways between Pauline Town in Ashton-Under-Lyne, Hull Unity Shop, Mesopotamia Cafe in Nottingham and, since the onset of the war in Ukraine, Refugee Support Europe. Each of these causes is run by absolute warriors for struggling communities and I know every penny hit the front line of need as we faced down the harshest winter in generations.

A massive thank you to everyone who supported this attempt to make a difference out there.

I wanted to raise the maximum help I could every time I hit a stage.

Solidarity Mission went on to raise upwards of £8000 before it was consolidated at the start of 2024.

All subsequent gigs have raised funds for local causes chosen by the promoter in order to keep donations in the communities which raised them, or split between Pauline, Hull Unity Shop, and Medical Aid For Palestinians following the onset of the Israeli invasion of Gaza.
