MusicBox Children’s Charity – Western Chapter

About us:
MusicBox Children’s Charity – Western Chapter is a student club affiliated with MusicBox Children’s Charity. We aim to bring music education to vulnerable children in the London area. An education in music is incredibly beneficial for young children – ”we know that it helps develop interpersonal skills, goal-setting skills, motivation and resiliency and it provides them with a hobby that they can enjoy. We believe that vulnerable children should be granted the same opportunities for growth and development that a music education provides that are available to their peers. We run one-on-one instrument lessons for school-aged children and group music activities for younger children at our community partner.If you’re interested in our mission and want to know more information or how to get involved, please email [email protected]

Israel On Campus

About us: 

If you can’t spend next year in Jerusalem, we’ve got the next best thing. Israel on Campus brings the homeland a little closer to home. We are a group of Western students who are united in our proud support of Israel, and our interest in giving Western a chance to learn more about Israel’s people, culture, politics, and life. In the last couple of years, We hosted big name speakers to packed audiences. We raised money for Israeli charities. We hosted a concert of Israel’s biggest hip-hop band. We ran letter-writing campaigns in support of Israel. We taught students Krav Maga, the Israeli martial art. We held weekly Hebrew lessons. We held seminars on Israel advocacy. We stood up in support of Israel whenever and wherever necessary. And we held Western’s biggest cultural awareness day Israel Day. What are we going to do this year? You’ll have to wait and see. But, we can guarantee that we’ll be standing alongside the little state that could and continue to bring a little piece of Israel to Western. Am Yisrael Chai!
