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 £4,300 for the local charity New Chapters.

In 2023 the choir raised £4,325 for Rufus’ Friends’ Fund and £336 for Myton Hospice.

Quiz and Fish ‘n’ Chips Supper

On Friday 7th November 2025 the choir held a very successful and enjoyable ‘Quiz and Fish ‘n’ Chips’ Supper. It must have been a very private event, as no photos, videos or recordings escaped to appear on this website!

The quiz was set by Claire Darlington and we are so grateful for her putting it all together. Thanks to Anne Love who assisted in helping to pull together some of the teams – in total 7 took part.

Also, thanks to Ken and Sandra Hayward for organising the Fish ‘n’ Chips and to them, Julie Barr and Anne Love for setting up Northgate Methodist Church Meeting Room and clearing away afterwards.

The team calling itself ‘We Are Only Here For The Fish ‘n’ Chips’ was disappointed not to have come last in the quiz. Meanwhile, the Altos went out on a high!

£217 raised from the event will be provided to Northgate Methodist Church, towards their refurbishment fund.


Updates about the choir’s events will be displayed on this webpage, as they become available.
