£1,757 raised – thanks for your support

The Trustees, on behalf of N.M.D.W. would just like to say a big thank you for your contribution towards the celebration evening held for Paul at the Coastguard Studios on the 18th June. Through your support, donations, ticket monies, prizes and raffle purchases we managed to raise an amazing £1,757.00 on the evening.
This amount is more than enough for N.M.D.W. to fund the building of another Protected Fresh Water Spring in Uganda and contribute monies towards other clean drinking water projects.
We shall keep you updated on these projects as they progress and look forward to your continuing support of which Paul would have been proud of.

It has been a year since we lost our dear friend and founder of the No More Dirty Water charity. One year on, we are getting together to celebrate Paul’s life, his achievements in bringing clean water to Africa and India and to fund raise for our next well building project – £1400 required.

Tickets are available online here for a minimum donation of £5 to the No More Dirty Water charity (please include Gift Aid).
***When buying tickets please enter the number you require in the name field of the checkout process (e.g. Jane x 2), print your receipt and show it on the door***

Dress code: “Fist in the air” red and black to represent Paul’s political views and revolutionary themed artwork, although white and blue would be just as appropriate given his staunch support for his beloved Tottenham Hotspur.

As this is the first fundraising event in 2016 we are asking all friends of Paul, the Durty Sound System and No More Durty Water to get the word out – please use the social links below to spread the news.
Peace out, NMDW crew x

Arsenic filter in Goria Nagar installed!

Arsenic filter in Goria Nagar, India

From the generous donations given at the Psychedelia for No More Durty Water event at The Blind Tiger Club in May 2013, the Calcutta Rescue team has now installed an arsenic filter in the village of Goria Nagar in the Malda district, India. The community can now enjoy clean drinking water as a result of music and art provided by Black Market Karma, Kassassin Street, Carmen Rosa, Oh Captain!, Cassettelord, Atomsphere, El Winlove, David Neal and Partial Facsimile. Thank you all!

We shall continue raising money and awareness through the means of music and art, starting with Southsea Old Guard First XI at the Little Johnny Russels in Southsea THIS SATURDAY 14th November. This event is to commemorate comrade DJ Monkey P, the initiator of No More Durty Water, who sadly passed away earlier this year. Come down and enjoy 11 wicked DJs spin records from 1 PM till late and donate money you can spare to help more people gain access to clean drinking water. After all it is a BASIC HUMAN RIGHT!

The Bucket Board

Here is a fantastic idea, put together for Earth Hour, skateboards made from waste out of a tip by the brilliant Mac Premo.

Do the Green Thing has teamed up with World Wildlife Fund-UK to curate the ‘Everyday Things’ collection: fifteen artists from around the world were asked to repurpose daily objects and show how creativity can lead the way in encouraging people to live a greener lifestyle. When artist Mac Premo was asked to contribute to the collection, he partnered with Sanford Shapes to create skateboard decks made entirely out of material lifted from a dumpster. Mac then made this film which shows the process and inspiration behind the Bucket Board.

Think the advert is rather cool too.

Walk 4 Water on the Millennium Promenade

walk4water

Wow! Another fundraiser for No More Durty Water by students of South Downs College.

Walk 4 Water Charity Event – A group of music students will perform Busk-Walk on Millennium Promenade on the new arranged date of Saturday 30th May. Midday to Afternoon.

The Millennium Walk

Three kilometres of promenade now links Portsmouth’s historic waterfront. The route starts from Spur Redoubt near Clarence Pier, Southsea and finishes on The Hard, taking in Old Portsmouth, the Camber and Gunwharf Quays.

The walkway has been built of the highest quality natural stone and opened up waterfront  land that had been closed to the public for centuries.

The route is indicated by a chain motif set into the surface, symbolising partnership between the communities of Portsmouth and Gosport and between past and present. Historically it also refers to the chain, which used to be tightened across the harbour entrance at times of potential attack.

Column-mounted lanterns light the promenade, designed to reflect the historic character of blue lights at night that are strung around the harbour.

Please come along and join in the fun, and help this group of music students save lives.
