Carols for the Trust

The Harpenden Trust received a wonderful contribution of £1,000 to its Christmas Appeal from the sale of raffle tickets at the Lea Singers Christmas Concert on Thursday evening (21 December).

Local chamber choir, The Lea Singers, hosted a Christmas concert in the Eric Morecambe Centre. They were joined by Harpenden community choir, Upbeat, and presented a joyful evening of uplifting singing, mince pies and popular carols for all to join in with.

Harpenden Trust volunteers sold raffle tickets with the proceeds, amounting to a fantastic £1,000, going towards the Harpenden Trust Christmas Appeal.

Thank you so much to the Lea Singers and Upbeat, to all the volunteers and a special thank you to all the audience for their generous donations.
