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.
2026-27 Charity
Our chosen charity for 2026-2027 is Horticap, Harrogate.
Horticap are an independent charity supporting adults with learning and other disabilities through training in horticulture, related crafts and rural skills.
These opportunities help people develop practical skills, confidence, independence and friendships in a safe and supportive environment. Their work is made possible by skilled staff, dedicated volunteers, loyal customers and the local businesses that support us.
We're looking forward to supporting them with our fundraising this year
