Cerrie Burnell

Our Patron

I am absolutely delighted to be the patron of The Twang Music Foundation.

Music, literature and theatre were all so hugely important to me as a child. So it’s lovely to continue this connection by supporting a thriving music Academy in Penge, in the heart of South London.

Twang strive to make music truly inclusive, immersive and joyful, whilst establishing a wonderfully musical community, which I’m now proud to be a part of.

Kindest,

Cerrie Burnell

Local author and actor

Cerrie Burnell is an author, actor, and ambassador best known for her work on CBeebies - a role that earned her both critical acclaim and a devoted fan base.

During her time on CBeebies, she broke down barriers, challenged stereotypes, and overcame discrimination to become one of the most prominent disabled presenters in children’s television.

Cerrie is the author of fifteen children’s books, including Snowflakes, which she adapted for the stage with Oxford Playhouse in 2016, and the Harper series, one of the official World Book Day titles in 2016. She also created her one-woman show The Magical Playroom, which premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2013.

Since leaving CBeebies, Cerrie has appeared in the BBC’s long-running drama Doctors and presented the powerful documentary, Silenced.

Her non-fiction book, I Am Not a Label, was named one of Amazon US’s Top 20 Children’s Nonfiction Books of 2020 and went on to win the overall Children’s Choice Award at the SLA Information Book Awards in 2021.

Her novel, Wilder Than Midnight, was named Indie Bookshop Book of the Month and Blackwell’s Book of the Month in May 2022.

It has also been shortlisted for both the inaugural Adrien Prize and the Sheffield Book Award.

Most recently, Cerrie worked with the BBC as an ambassador for disability in their Creative Diversity Unit. She continues to dream up new projects—always with a cup of mint hot chocolate in hand!

We are very proud and delighted to have Cerrie as the patron of the Foundation and we look forward to providing mutual support in our future community based projects and events.
