The 3 bands - Arturo, FTB and Hades the Cat - all played for free on the night and all door donations were collected for Acorns. The bands all had current or ex Smiths News staff as members. They raised a wonderful £210 on the night.

[/caption]They also got a group together to start a gardening project at Acorns. They were asked to hire a skip and clear away 18 months' worth of garden waste! 2 skips later they'd managed to clear the debris. The gardening project is ongoing, with the MSC 'adopting' an area of Acorns garden to upkeep on a regular basis. They have big plans for their plot, including composting the garden waste and screening it off with a trellis. They also plan to raise more funds to pay for fencing and some apple trees.
