Hometown Highlight: A magical night for charity
An unforgettable evening of music at Ardingly College has raised an incredible ÂŁ7,050 for the Sussex Cancer Fund!
A huge audience of more than 300 people gathered in the Chapel of Saint Saviour to hear 170 singers from Choir&Ko perform. One particularly moving moment was their rendition of You’ll Never Walk Alone, which left hardly a dry eye in the chapel.
The event was made possible by the generosity of the choir, who performed for free, and 47 dedicated volunteers from local community groups who helped with everything from refreshments and raffle tickets to welcoming guests and directing parking.
A huge thank you to choir leader Karen O’Connor, all the choir members, volunteers, local businesses who donated raffle prizes, the Southdowns Magicians and Ardingly College for helping make the evening such a success.
The ÂŁ7,050 raised will support the Sussex Cancer Fund in helping improve life for cancer patients across Sussex through equipment, facilities, services and selected research programmes.
What a wonderful example of our local community coming together to make a difference!
