At the AUJ, everything we do is for charity and at the end of the year we like to get the Christmas cheer started by making our largest donations. In the last 4 weeks this amounts to a whopping £1,500.We are delighted to tell you about the donations but first… If you would like to remind yourself about how we can do this then read on past the pictures (at the end of the post)

6 of the group were invited to Children in Need 2018, BBC Radio Solent Drive Time show with Louisa Hannan.

We finished off the show by announcing a £500 donation

Sun Hill Infants Bazar, Alresford – £1000

After playing the traditional “Christmas Uke Box” during the school Bazaar, we were delighted to present a cheque for £1,000 to help the Sun Hill Infant school provide that little bit more for our local 4-6 year olds.

AUJ are a non-profit, community group who raise funds all year long in order to give back to the community and other good causes. Hailing from Alresford and the surrounding area, we work on our “Uke Covers” all year long so that we can play at festivals, weddings, birthdays, corporate events and also organise our own local charity fundraisers. Everything we get paid goes into the kitty for one of two purposes – making sure we have the equipment to sound great for you, but most importantly making donations. If you are looking for a band in 2019 and like the idea of your payment going back to good causes, then we would love to hear from you.
