Camberwell Choir School donation
Camberwell Choir School have been offered match funding for all small donations (up to £10) given to them in the next few days, and also match funding for anyone who’d like to give a small amount monthly for at least the next 3 months.
Many of their instruments need replacing in the near future so this is a great opportunity to help contribute to their replacement, and lots of small gifts soon mount up! If you haven’t come across them do look them up (www.camberwellchoirschool.org.uk). They’ve been around for 26 years and have worked with 3,000 local children from 0-17 helping them build confidence and self-worth through music. One of their current children is on stage in the West End production of Lion King, and another, who was a child in the mid 1990’s, recently sang in the White House for the President!
If you’d like to make a donation please go to localgiving.org/ccs and click on ‘donate now’ for a one off gift or ‘give monthly’ to give three monthly payments that will all be match funded.
Thank you.
