Concert Champions: Celebrating Our Christmas Fundraising Partners

We're incredibly grateful for the support we received over the festive season from two wonderful organisations who chose to champion our cause through their Christmas concerts.

West Wickham Scouts

On December 14th, the 6th and 7th West Wickham Scouts hosted a heartwarming Carol Service at St Francis Church in Kent. Parents and community members gathered to enjoy seasonal songs and support a meaningful cause. Their efforts resulted in an impressive £420 raised for the Sing Up Foundation!

The dedication shown by these young scouts and their leaders demonstrates how powerful community action can be. Their choice to support our mission of improving mental health through singing shows their commitment to making a real difference in young people's lives.

London Oriana Choir

The prestigious London Oriana Choir selected the Sing Up Foundation as their charity partner for their 2024-25 concert season, and their Christmas contributions have been truly extraordinary. Their Candlelight Carols, held at the beautiful St James's Church Piccadilly on December 20th and 21st, raised an incredible £1,425!

Audiences were treated to choral favourites and beloved carols, with works from renowned composers including Sir David Willcocks, Cecilia McDowell, Gustav Holst, Errollyn Wallen, and Eric Whitacre. The magical atmosphere created by these talented performers not only brought joy to all who attended but also raised vital funds for our work.

We're especially excited that this partnership will continue throughout their 2024-25 season, with more concerts scheduled for March, May, and July 2025. For more information about upcoming performances, please visit their website or you also can view their full concert programme.

The Impact of Your Support

At the Sing Up Foundation, we believe in the power of singing to improve health and wellbeing for all. With research showing that 50% of mental health problems are established by age 14, and 75% by age 24, our focus on prevention through singing programs for young people is more critical than ever.

The combined total of £1,845 raised through these Christmas concerts will directly support our mission to produce, promote, and create opportunities for children and young people to improve their mental health and wellbeing through singing.

A Heartfelt Thank You

To the West Wickham Scouts, the London Oriana Choir, and everyone who attended these concerts and donated—thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Your generosity is helping us create a healthier, happier world, one song at a time.

We look forward to sharing updates throughout 2025 on how these funds are making a difference in young people's lives.
