Our charity offers the opportunity for men of all ages to enjoy singing together on a regular basis, providing a safe and sociable outlet, the benefits of which are many, not least of which is a positive influence on men's health. We seek to bring choral singing to many thousands of people during the year by performing concerts and attending many local functions, such as Remembrance Services, Christmas events and Care Home entertainment. Underpinning all of this, is the raising of awareness and valuable funds for our chosen charity (on a 2 year cycle).

Beneficiaries: 'Older People','No specific group, or for the benefit of the community','Other charities or voluntary bodies'
