MUSICAL YOUTH
YOUNGSTERS SHOWCASE TALENT Two talented musicians have been crowned the 2022 winners in the final of the seventh annual Bromsgrove Young Musicians’ Platform (BYMP).
Jaren Ziegler, aged 16, won the Senior section and Junde Tom He, aged 11, won the Junior category in February in Routh Concert Hall at Bromsgrove School.
The adjudicators were once again blown away by the standard of the entries, with each competitor taking part in an audition round earlier in the week. They were then whittled down to just eleven finalists, selected on merit by the distinguished adjudicators.
Both winners have been granted financial bursaries of £1000 (Senior section) and £750 (Junior section).

Platform, said: “The adjudicators had a tough task to not only choose the twelve finalists but to then also decide on the winners of each section – the standard was extremely high.”
Wooden Spoon - known as the Children’s Charity for Rugby - has just been presented with a cheque for over £15,000 for events organised by two of its biggest supporters, AMROS Promotions and Hayward Wright Accountancy Group.
Despite Covid restrictions AMROS ran a number of sporting events with guests speakers including England Rugby Union Coach Eddie Jones, ex-player now commentator Martin Bayfield and former England, Arsenal and Aston Villa soccer star Paul Merson.
The cheque was presented to Vince Hopkins from Wooden Spoon at the charity’s monthly networking event held at the brand new Bottles Deli & Rotisserie venue in Reindeer Court who also sponsored the evening. All the funds raised within Worcestershire stay within the county and will be used to fund a number of projects that brings benefits to disadvantaged children.
“This fantastic sum can be added to additional funds we have raised through the year enabling us to carry on the work of helping those who most need our assistance,” said local chairman John Gibson.
“Without the help of our other fantastic sponsors/members/supporters we could not undertake the great work that Wooden Spoon achieves at both a local and a national level."
ROYAL HONOUR BACKING BIRMINGHAM
The co-founder of LoveBrum, Tim Andrews, has been recognised for ‘services to charity and the community in Birmingham’.
The ceremony at Windsor Castle saw him receive his MBE by HRH Princess Anne in an investiture ceremony which was attended by his mum Sandra Andrews.
Tim said: “I am very honoured and humbled to receive this award. I am grateful to everyone who has supported me throughout my charitable endeavours.
“My mum and I had a fantastic day. It was surreal waiting in the Queen’s Drawing Room to be presented with my MBE. Windsor Castle is stunning and heaped in centuries of Royal History and tradition. I was very touched that the Princess Royal knew so much about me as a person, as well as so much about what Love Brum is and the work we do.”
Tim has raised in excess of £750k for local causes by organising and hosting a number of charity events.
