Christmas carol concert spreads holiday cheer


This year's Christmas carol concert featured a few surprise guests--a choir of our Area Managers, who had secretly been practicing their singing under the guidance of Head of Volunteers and National Networks, Philip Rosser. Their performance went over well, as did the singing of the Tabard Singers, who might have been more professionally polished, but they could not have beat the Area Managers' enthusiasm.

The evening raised over £400 for Independent Age, which will help many older people to have a nicer Christmas this year. Thanks to all of you who came, and to all of our other supporters.
