Sing for Water Pop Up Project - Summer Rehearsals
Founded by Xenia Davis of Making Music, in 2016, for four years the Pop Ups have been a wonderful way for singers to meet, sing and fundraise together. Last year we went virtual and this year we hope to be able to sing together in person again.

About Sing For Water London
Sing for Water was initiated by Helen Chadwick and the Thames Festival Trust to raise money for WaterAid in 2002. This year we are celebrating our 20 year anniversary, with the combined efforts of nationwide events raising over £1 million for WaterAid’s lifesaving projects.
About WaterAid - Clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene should be a normal part of everyone’s daily life. Without all three, people can’t live dignified, healthy lives. With all three, they can unlock their potential, break free from poverty and change their lives for good.With clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene, children are born healthier. They get the chance to go to school and grow up to become adults. Women and men get to earn a living. Whole communities start to thrive. It sounds normal and it should be.
Covid-19 has been devastating for communities without clean water and sanitation, so it is really important we continue to support WaterAid at this challenging time
