Orange RockCorps comes to Start in Salford!
Orange and RockCorps have come together to help young people give something back to their community. Young people join up and give four hours of their time to a community project in their area, and in return, individuals get a ticket to an exclusive gig with performances from big name artists. This year sees Lady Gaga, N-Dubz and The Enemy performing for the RockCorps volunteers at The Apollo in Manchester on the 13th July.
