The Abel Foundation is a charity that supports those affected by Mitochondrial Disease. There's currently no cure for the disease, which has had a profound impact on one Andover family.

Claire Noakes, Abel's Mum, said, "By bringing the community together through their love of music we hope to raise awareness of this disease. Abel, our son, is 9 years old and has battled this disease all his young life. We want to provide support to others going through similar challenges to us."

Samantha added: “Not only is the cause local, we’re supporting local bands too. There are currently no other music festivals in Andover, so this is a great opportunity for the community to come together.”
