Each year as a choir, we choose a charity to support through our fundraising efforts.
We aim to raise as much money as possible through raffles at our formal concerts, bucket collections at our more casual performances, social events and even contributions towards cake at our Saturday rehearsals.
2025-26 Charity
Our chosen charity for 2025-2026 is Yorkshire Air Ambulance.

Covering a vast 3 million acres and serving nearly 5 million people, Yorkshire Air Ambulance is a vital lifeline for one of England’s most diverse and expansive counties.
Clocking speeds of up to 160 mph, their aircraft can reach 90% of Yorkshire in just 20 minutes – bringing emergency medical care to those who need it most, faster than ever. Whether it’s the remote Dales or the bustling cities, they’re always just minutes away.
