Pandemic Pizza Event – Saturday 18th July, 12.00 – 2.00pm

We’re really excited to be co-hosting an Il Mulino’s Pandemic Pizza Event this Saturday, with Chelsea Community Champions.

Pandemic Pizza is an amazing project, started at the beginning of the crisis, which gives FREE freshly made Italian pizzas to vulnerable adults and families, and NHS staff.

This week, they’ll be offering their pizzas to Wiltshire Close, Samuel Lewis, and Sutton Estate residents, as well as SMART members and NHS staff.

You’ll be able to find us, and the mobile wood-fire oven/Range Rover, at the Brompton Hospital on Sydney Street, just opposite St Luke’s Church, from 12.00 to 2.00pm (or until the pizzas run out).

Please call Marsha on 07407 194 694, for further information, including delivery arrangements for people that are shielding.

A challenge for World music Day: 21st June

It’s World Music Day on Sunday 21st June! As there will be no music zoom session next week, we are asking you all to try listening to some music that you haven’t heard before, a different genre, band, style etc. and let us know what you listened to and what you thought of it. You could try digging out CDs you’ve not played, or what about tuning to a different radio station and trying it out (stick with if for 15 minutes at least!). Try Radio 1, 2 or 6 if you don’t usually listen to them, or what about Classic FM? Let us know by giving us a call or email Sarah – and we’ll share your new music discoveries!

SMART Lockdown Challenges

Last week, all the team at SMART were asked to come up with, and complete, a SMART Lockdown Challenge. And while some of us gave vague virtual nods, Tracy stepped up to the plate in a BIG way. She and her partner have written and recorded not one, but TWO lockdown songs for everyone’s listening pleasure. Listen to them here:

These songs can be downloaded for free, but even better, they can also be bought, at a cost of the donor’s choosing. 100% of the donations received will be going to support SMART’s Distribution Service, which is delivering essential food and toiletry packages to isolated and vulnerable adults, during the lockdown.

We appreciate anything that you can give. Find out more about donating to SMART here.

Keep a lookout for more news about SMART’s Lockdown Challenges!
