Hamish Walks to Antigua!

When you think of a nursing student, you might imagine someone studying hard, dedicated to the wellbeing of others. Hamish, a nursing student soon to join the NHS, is no different. Yet, he has also taken on a unique challenge to share a love for music and take part in an exciting cultural exchange.

In an awe-inspiring show of dedication, recently, on the 14th May 2023, Hamish completed a 56km walk. Each kilometer symbolising one of the 56 Commonwealth countries. His goal? To raise funds for the upcoming Commonwealth Resound’s collaborative project in the island of Antigua this July. This project will see Hamish joining with the Commonwealth Resounds team as they join the talented young musicians of the Antigua and Barbuda Youth Symphony Orchestra (ABYSO). ABYSO is a group of talented and committed young musicians who share our goal to bring music to all corners of the Commonwealth. The team are looking forward to learning from the musicians of the island and exchanging their rich musical cultures.

However, this journey cannot be completed without your support. Hamish is inviting you to be a part of this project by contributing to his fundraising campaign. Your support will enable Hamish to work with ABYSO and will also help spread the message of unity and musical collaborations that the Commonwealth Resounds stands for.
