Thank you to TRNSMT Festival, Lewis Capaldi, Paolo Nutini + Noel Gallagher
The Lewis Capaldi & Paolo Nutini intervention has finally come to an end. The story goes like this! Noel Gallagher called Lewis Capaldi Chewbacca, which in turn made Lewis wear a Chewbacca mask at his festival performance. The promoters from TRNSMT Festival auctioned the mask on eBay to donate proceedings to Tiny Changes. Paolo Nutini ended up buying it donating a full £10k to us then again auctioning it in Instagiving, which helped raise a total of £12,142 for Tiny Changes. Big UP for Noel, Lewis & Paolo for helping us #MakeTinyChanges.
