We have been meeting since January to form a choir in which local singers from the Calder Valley can meet with refugees and asylum seekers based in the area and learn to sing songs from different cultures.
It has been difficult at times with variations in support as some of our initial singers have been moved to other places. This is one of the hardships of the life asylum seekers have to bear.
We have been led by an outstanding choir leader and we now need to raise funds to continue paying her a reasonable amount for the work she does. We hope that at some time in the future that we may be able to raise money from other sources but for the time being we have to rely on donors.
