A MUSIC school is appealing for donations of unused instruments.

Sunderland Music Hub, which provides school outreach services across the city, is appealing for people to donate unloved musical instruments so children can use them to practice and develop their talents on.

On Saturday at the Cultural Spring Summer Streets festival in Southwick’s Thompson Park there will be a stall where people can drop off their unwanted musical instruments for others to enjoy.

Hub manager Rebecca Pedlow said: “We need to be able to provide all our children with the access and opportunity to at least try out a musical instrument, and this amnesty is a chance for everyone to help us to do just that.”

If anyone would like to donate a musical instrument, regardless of size or condition, email david.w.smith@sunderland.gov.uk or contact on 0191-561-8824.
