Our next Mind Cambridge Fundraiser is confirmed! We’ll be marking World Mental Health Day, Friday 10 October, with a live benefit and raffle at The Grapes.

Join us from 7.00pm to 11.30pm at The Grapes, 19 Histon Road, Arbury, Cambridge CB4 3JB. Huge thanks to Sandy, Tara and the amazing Grapes team for sponsoring our musical line up, which will feature many of Cambridge’s most acclaimed artists.

Our suggested event ticket donation is £5+, cash on the night, or by card in the shop please. Every single penny will go to Mind Cambridge and will help fund local mental health services.

Our Cambridge supergroup, Jonno’s Blues and Soul Quartet, will headline, with Jonno Stanford on vocals, John Wright on guitar, Lee ‘Charles’ Phillips on bass, and Malek Hyde-Smith on drums.

Ghost Carnival will kick off the live music from 8.00, with Alex Machell on vocals and guitar, Nicole Horst on cajon and backing vocals, and Tom Gaskell on bass.

We’ll be running a raffle in the lead up with a draw later in the evening. Look out for some extra fun with Jonno, in between sets – he’ll be unleashing a novel fundraising concept – bring your spare £1 coins to join in!

Thanks to Will Hill, our ace designer, for once again creating our fabulous flyer and our fantastic printers cambridge-printing.com who’ll be producing posters and flyers asap. Thank you, if you’re reading this, for spreading the word in the Cambridge area. Save the date and see you there, and don’t forget to bring your dancing shoes.
