Start 2026 with purpose — give something up to give back

This January, join New Note Orchestra’s Warm Hearts, Cold Turkey challenge.

Give up something you love for the month — your daily shop bought coffee, sweet treats, online shopping, or that evening glass of wine — and help people in recovery find hope through music and creativity.

It’s a simple act of kindness that does good — for both you and others.

Why take part?

For you:
Take a mindful break from your usual habits. Feel healthier, save money, and start the new year with purpose.

For others:
Donate what you save — or ask friends and family to sponsor you.
Every pound raised supports our projects helping people affected by addiction through the transformative power of music.

Together, we can warm hearts this winter — and show that small sacrifices can create lasting change.

How it works

  1. Pick what you’ll give up this January — big or small, it’s your choice.
  2. Donate what you save or get sponsored for your efforts.
  3. Support recovery through music with New Note Orchestra.

Every penny helps us empower people in recovery to rebuild their lives, reconnect with others, and find confidence through creativity.
