Fosbrooks (Folk Education Music Trust) staged a Folk Opera which told the story of a child apprentice, who worked for the local industrialist Samuel Oldknow some 200 years ago in Stockport. The Concert hosted by Banks Lane Junior School proved to be a huge success and drew parallels with the plight of a young girl working as an indentured labourer at the turn of the last century and that of vulnerable children in India today working as child labourers.
From this single event over £300 was raised but this is just one of many events hosted by Fosbrooks and Banks Lane Junior School over the course of the 2013/14 academic year raising a total of £3000!
A massive Thanks to Fosbrooks and Banks Lane Junior School.
