Boro Bees Donate Music Equipment to JAMM Rochdale Thanks to Honey Sales
Littleborough's community beekeeping group has helped support young musicians after donating professional music equipment to JAMM Rochdale using proceeds raised through honey sales.
Members of Boro Bees recently presented a Behringer X AIR X18 18-channel, 12-bus digital mixer and a Galaxy tablet to JAMM Rochdale during one of the organisation's sessions. The donation was funded entirely through sales of the group's locally produced honey throughout the season.
The presentation marks another example of how community-led projects can make a lasting difference to local organisations, with every jar of honey purchased helping to support a worthwhile cause.
Mark Harris from Boro Bees said they were "really proud" to hand over the equipment and thanked everyone who had supported the group by purchasing honey during the year.
"All thanks to the proceeds from our honey sales this season, thank you to everyone who has purchased this season. It really is making a difference to local groups."
Boro Bees is a community beekeeping project based in Littleborough, promoting beekeeping, environmental awareness and the importance of pollinators. Alongside managing hives and producing local honey, the group regularly supports community initiatives and educational activities, helping residents learn more about bees and biodiversity.
The equipment donation will benefit JAMM Rochdale, a youth music charity that provides opportunities for young people to develop their musical talents. Through workshops, rehearsals, live performance opportunities and mentoring, the organisation helps young people gain confidence, learn new skills and express themselves through music.
The newly donated Behringer digital mixer and tablet will support JAMM's music sessions and performances, giving young musicians access to modern equipment that can enhance both learning and live sound production.
The donation highlights how local community groups can support one another, with Boro Bees turning the success of its honey harvest into practical support for a charity helping inspire the next generation of musicians.
For everyone who bought a jar of Boro Bees honey this year, the message is simple: your purchase has helped make a real difference in the local community.
