Story
Sheffield One World Choir is a refugee and asylum seeker 30-strong choir, including support from others, led on a voluntary basis by Emer McKay. It has developed over the last year and is brilliant. It's important in the lives of the asylum seekers and refugees in the choir, and it's important politically through the many public performances they do highlighting the issues around asylum in Britain.
They meet once a week at the Sanctuary on Chapel Walk for free. Just to cover the bus fares and childcare costs of the asylum seekers and refugees each week costs between £40 and £50. Yet they have no source of funding at the moment apart from donations from supporters. £2500 would provide funds for the next year, £5,000 for two years.
I’m setting out on Monday 10th June, with three friends (Peter Long, Malcolm Reed and Rob Bullock) to cycle from Lands End to John O’Groats by the scenic route: 1175 miles, 47,742’ of ascent, 29 days cycling. At my age that’s a challenge and I would invite you to acknowledge that by giving generously to the Sheffield One World Choir.

5 years agoTHANKS AND PARTY! Thanks so much to everyone who has contributed so generously (177 of you, giving £4,220). We got back safely after 28 days cycling - 1,255 miles and 70,252' of ascent. With the One World Choir, we're inviting you to a PARTY on Saturday (27th July), 4-8pm, at Brincliffe House, 90 Osborne Rd, S11 9BB. Very informal: food music, sunshine, chat and a chance to meet the choir - no fundraising! Please let me know if you are coming (joncowley@btinternet.com or 07739878589) and, if you can, bring some vegetarian food to share.
