The Lea Singers raised £650 for the Harpenden Trust!

On Thursday evening, local chamber choir, The Lea Singers, hosted a Christmas concert at St John’s Church, Southdown. They presented a joyful evening of beautiful singing, mince pies and mulled wine, and popular carols for all to join in with. A perfect event to get everyone in the Christmas mood. Through the evening, our volunteers sold raffle tickets for three luxury food hampers kindly provided by the Lea Singers. The proceeds, amounting to a fantastic £650, were donated to our Christmas Appeal. Thank you SO much to the wonderful Lea Singers, to our volunteers and a special thank you to all of the audience for their generous donations.

Please do join us for more Christmas singing at Carols on The Common, Christmas Eve 6-7pm
