Save the UK's Charities!

The Covid-19 pandemic has had a catastrophic effect with the cancellation of thousands of events and the huge loss of income through fundraising events. The London Marathon alone, which should have taken place on Sunday 26 April, is the world’s biggest one-day fundraising event. Many charities have had to reduce or stop services at a time when vulnerable members of society need them most; thousands of staff have been placed on furlough and many charities will not survive the next few months.

Since the lockdown, the wonderful Milton Mount Community Choir has continued meeting online every Thursday at 6.30pm, a highlight of our week when we get to see one another on Zoom and belt out some great tunes together.

To support the 2.6 challenge, we thought we'd have a Singathon this Sunday 26 April, singing 26 songs non-stop to raise funds for the wonderful work of Crawley Open House, our local homeless shelter which supports hundreds of homeless and vulnerable people in and around Crawley.
