Fundraiser set up to give ‘Belko’ the best send off

Family and friends of Thom Belk, who died earlier this week at the age of 36, have set up a fundraiser to give him the best send-off possible.

The fundraiser has been set up, saying, “Thom was a very much loved son and brother, who has been taken too quickly.

He was always the life and soul of any party and touched so many hearts.

“He gave so much to so many people/charities/companies, and a lot of people owe their success to him. He deserves the best of send-offs.

“As Thom would say, ‘there ain’t no party like a S Club Party’ so please donate what you can to join Thom in his final party.”

Thom organised events linked with music around Salisbury, including the Salisbury Music Awards, which celebrated the grassroots music scene in Salisbury – with awards going to original and cover bands, musicians and artists with a link to Salisbury.

He was a regular DJ at several venues around the city, playing as Belko as well as working for Salisbury FC he also worked with Bemerton Heath Harlequins.

He also contributed to the Salisbury Journal and Salisbury Radio. He had previously helped set up a community radio station, The City Sound, which played lots of locally produced music.
