Raising Money For Help The Heros
UKRecordShop.com currently supply music to British Forces based in Iraq & Afganistan & have done since the conflict began, we deliver direct to the bases & keep the forces upto date with UK’s latest urban music! UKRecordShop.com have now joined forces with the staff and prisoners based at HMP Bristol to raise money to support a charity called Help For Heroes, this newly formed charity aims to offer support to our servicemen and women wounded in current conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Their first aim is to help build a swimming pool and new gym complex at Headley Court, the tri-service rehabilitation centre at Leatherhead, this much needed resource will help to provide the best possible aid to our injured heroes enhancing and improving their chances of recovery.
Prisoners and Staff of the prison will be involved in a variety of activities throughout 2008 including sponsored events, assault courses, competitions, a sale of prisoner art and craft work and any other event we can organise working within the constraints of a large prison. For staff and their families we will also be holding our annual Auction and Quiz Night but in order to increase the amount we actually raise for this great cause we will also be inviting 2 other prisons to join us. This event will be held in early October but in order to include as many people as possible we actually start advertising items and accepting bids from July.
UKRecordShop.com will be donating music to the prisoners & staff for the auction.
