Fundraising - Each singer is required to raise a minimum of £50 each in sponsorship to take part in Sing for Water. This fundraising is separate to any donation made for these rehearsals. All funds raised help bring lifesaving water to people in need. If people drop out this impacts on our fundraising so please let us know if for any reason you cannot make it so we can fill your place.
There are many ways to make fundraising fun - for more info, ideas, and tips on the WaterAid website

About Sing For Water London
These rehearsals are in preparation for Sing for Water London at the Thames Festival on Sunday 17th September at 2.30pm at The Scoop, City Hall, Queen's Walk, London SE1 2AA
Choirs from across the country join together to sing watery themed songs to raise funds for WaterAid's lifesaving projects. Founded by composer Helen Chadwick in 2002, this year marks the 15th Anniversary of Sing for Water at the Thames Festival and is the year we hit the million pound fundraising mark - so there’s much to celebrate.
