Yesterday CHVRCHES announced they have become a patron for the Rock ‘n’ Roll Summer School for Girls Glasgow after hearing previous funding for the camp had fallen through. This summer camp will teach local girls aged 8-16 years how to rock out. Coming at just the right time, Girls Rock Glasgow said the sponsorship will enable them to move forward with plans and offer more places than ever before. The full announcement from CHVRCHES’ lead singer Lauren Mayberry can be read below.

Rock ‘n’ Roll Summer School for Girls Glasgow will take place from July 14-22, 2018 at Kinning Park Complex and Empire Studios. For more information regarding applications to attend or volunteering opportunities please visit Girls Rock Glasgow.

At the time of writing it has not been confirmed if the band will be appearing or teaching at the summer school however their currently listed concert schedule suggests they may be visiting.

We are excited to be supporting @girlsrockglasgow, a really valuable community project that will be teaching local girls how to rock out at their camp this summer. Growing up, I didn't know many other girls playing in bands. If I hadn't seen awesome and inspiring women in bands that I loved - Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Garbage, Sleater-Kinney - then it would never have occurred to me that maybe one day I could do that. I have hardly ever seen a female sound engineer in a venue, locally or internationally, and you hardly ever see women headlining festivals. Let's change that by helping Girls Rock Glasgow teach young women that they can be anything they want to be. Link to find out more in bio.

Our third annual Lauren Mayberry top ten moments of the year is here! Thank you for being such a great role model and inspiration to many. It becomes increasingly difficult to pick just ten of our favorite moments each year but without further ado continue reading below to see our Lauren Mayberry top ten moments of 2017.

10. Lauren Mayberry, Iain Cook and Martin Doherty of CHVRCHES began working on their third album on February 7, 2017. While the finishing touches are being done now, Lauren did recently reveal the first details about the new album which we’re incredibly excited to hear in 2018. In the interview with EW, Mayberry said, “When I listen to the record, I feel like it’s the most pop stuff we’ve done and also the most aggressive and vulnerable at the same time. It was about really leaning into those moments — and also wanting there to be a real humanity and character to what we’re saying.”

9. CHVRCHES’ music was featured in the video game Chime Sharp and the music mixing game DropMix.

4. CHVRCHES released a beautiful new stripped-down version of “Down Side of Me” that was included in the 7 Inches for Planned Parenthood project benefiting the charity Planned Parenthood along with a new music video directed by actress Kristen Stewart.

Last night Lauren Mayberry and Martin Doherty of CHVRCHES along with friend Joey Howard played a stripped-down version of their original song “The Mother We Share” sandwiched by cover songs of “River” by Joni Mitchell and “Time After Time” by Cyndi Lauper at their holiday variety show. Mayberry also joined Computer Games on stage for their song “Lost Boys Life”. The show hosted by CHVRCHES and Justin Long raised funds for The Girls Home and No Kid Hungry.

Earlier this year CHVRCHES’ lead singer Lauren Mayberry and actor Justin Long visited the Girls Home in Granada, Nicaragua. Seeing the difficulties others face in this world is rather eye-opening but when we come together as people to help others these experiences can be very heartwarming.

Watch the new video below produced by Rachel Collingwood and Andrew Sutton capturing these moments from this visit by Mayberry and Long. To learn more and how you can help, please visit the Girls Home.

CHVRCHES’ lead singer Lauren Mayberry and actor Justin Long made a visit to the Girls Home in Granada, Nicaragua last month. While visiting, Mayberry and Long spent some time interacting with the girls and celebrated Madre Albertina’s birthday by attending mass with the Bishop of Granada where four girls received their first communion followed by a festive meal and dancing.

The girls living there have experienced the unimaginable from abuse and rape while others are social orphans who are no longer able to live with family members due to their own struggles from drug addiction or prostitution. It may not seem like much to most people but when these girls have visitors those painful memories from their past may be forgotten, even if for just a few moments. After seeing the smiles of these girls and visitors alike it really warms our hearts. Bringing joy to underprivileged youth can truly be a special moment in one’s life. To learn more and how you can help, please visit the Girls Home.
