Songs, Supper & Support

The Conservatoire is Southeast London's local arts centre. Every week, we provide a broad mix of music, art, drama and cultural classes and individual tuition to over 2000 residents aged 0 to 100! As a registered charity, we also organise events and outreach work.

The Conservatoire

On Friday 31st March, we will be hosting an evening of music in support of local charity Greenwich Refugee Aid & Community Enterprise (GRACE). A wonderfully diverse selection of singer songwriters and musicians will carry you through the evening in the Conservatoire's beautiful Victorian Art Building. Jo Girdlestone, one of our much-loved Early Years teachers, will be performing and curating the evening. Joining her, Richard Finch-Turner, Ady Johnson, Bruise, The Gillies and Emma Jane will be performing, with Martin providing delicious canapés from our very own Brockley Deli.  Tickets are £25 and include a glass of wine and canapés; all proceeds will go to GRACE, in order to help those who need it most. Here's some words from the good people themselves on their mission!
We are a small but growing charity based in Greenwich and Lewisham. We collect donations of clothing, food and other essential supplies from the local community to sort, pack by item and redistribute to refugees locally and abroad, particularly camps in Greece and France.
GRACE has recently moved to its own premises in Leegate, which will allow GRACE to open a charity shop (to sell donated items not suitable for refugees); this will allow GRACE's operations to be financially self sustaining.
The new premises will allow us to expand the services offered to refugees locally, those in need in our community and further develop partnerships with local charities. Potential services to include (but not limited to):
- Redistribution of surplus food
- English language and cultural workshops
- Antenatal workshops, women's services and advice for parenting in this country
- Mentoring
- Craft workshops / groups for upcycling our 'rag' clothing Funds raised at the gig will be spent on getting the premises up and running, contributing to GRACE becoming a bustling hub for the community. Tickets are available from the link below. A booking fee is added by Eventbrite, but if you pop in to see us at reception we can book you in without it!
