11. IT’S KOOL FOR LANKYKATS Thanks go to the Lankykats Collective for choosing us as one of its beneficiary charities for a second year. The Lankykats organises rock and roll gigs around the North West for bands that were around in the 50s, 60s and 70s to take to the stage again. The bands play for free and all proceeds are awarded to local charities through an Annual Lankykat Support Award (ALSA). The ALSA award is used to support music therapy sessions on our teenage & young adult unit.
