Announcing OHMI’s Ten Day Fundraising Challenge

19/3/2021

 
Picture
Have you ever cut a finger, sprained a wrist or broken an arm?  If so, you may have found how challenging it can be not to have full use of both hands. 
 
Children and adults living with an upper arm impairment have to find ways of undertaking day-to-day tasks that most of us never have to question.  In order to experience the challenges that those living with disability have to address each and every day, we’re putting the nation to the test!

How well would you function with the use of one arm?

The money raised as part of this campaign, which takes place as part of OHMI’s 10th year celebrations, will allow us to provide much needed musical instruments and access to lessons. 
Fancy joining us a fundraiser?

We’re looking for individuals, families, sports clubs, groups and schools, and companies, to join us in this appeal and commit to at least ten different activities over a course of ten days.

There are lots of activities that become significantly more challenging when carried out using one hand.  Making a cake, doing a supermarket shop, writing a letter with a non-dominant hand – even hair washing!
 
To make the experience as authentic as possible, here’s a few suggestions on what our fundraisers can do to put their other hand out of service: 
  • Wear an oven mitt.
  • Wrap their hand in bubble wrap.
  • Put it in a sling.
Funds raised can make such a difference: 
  • £30: The conversion of a brass instrument for use by a one-handed player
  • £50: one place in a workshop session led by music teachers experienced in working with adapted instruments
  • £60: Two individual music lessons with a specially trained instrument teacher
  • £100: The purchase of a bespoke instrument stand to be used as part of OHMI’s Instrument Hire Scheme
  • £200: The purchase of a trumpet or cornet to be used as part of OHMI’s Instrument Hire Scheme
  • £350: The purchase of a one-handed recorder to be used as part of OHMI’s Instrument Hire Scheme
  • £750: The support of one OHMI music-maker place for a year
Full details, along with our fundraisers pack, are included on our Ten Day Fundraising Challenge page.
