Craig and Charlie supporting The Smile of Arran Trust

The Smile of Arran charity has been set up in memory of Arran Tosh to help support children affected by brain tumours or brain cancer.

“We are well aware as song writers and musicians that music can have a positive and dramatic impact on a person’s life. Music can release emotions and forgotten memories, make you sing out loud, dance, laugh or cry. It can distract you from life’s challenges or fill you with confidence.

 As Patrons of the Smile of Arran Trust we are delighted to support their funding of children’s Music Therapy through the Addenbrooke’s Charitable Trust.” Craig & Charlie Reid
