Fund Raising for Charities

In 2026 the choir is raising funds for the local charity Women Stepping Out.

In 2025 we raised funds for Warwickshire Vision and at our 19th July 2025 Concert we raised £2,500 for the charity. By far the largest sum of money we’ve ever raised from one concert, and over the year we raised a total of £6,000, the largest sum we’ve ever raised in a single year for one charity.

During 2024 the choir raised funds for the charity New Chapters.

In 2023 the choir raised funds for Rufus’ Friends’ Fund and on Thursday evening 16th May 2024 Irene, who had requested we support the local charity, presented a cheque for £4,325 on behalf of the choir to representatives of the charity.
