It seems that Dementia Carers’ Respite, the Buckinghamshire charity that funds professional carers to provide respite for family carers of people living with dementia, struck a chord with the choir and their audience, with the latest concert raising an awe-inspiring £1500, the most ever raised from a single concert.
Contributions to the fundraising amount came primarily from ticket sales, a raffle and refreshments sold during the performance. Since it was founded 18 years ago, the choir has sourced a total of over £25,000 for various charities from 3 concerts annually, Easter, summer and Christmas..
All concerts take place at St Lawrence’s, the iconic ‘golden ball’ church on West Wycombe Hill.
Peter Healy, Trustee of Dementia Carers’ Respite said “We are blown away by the amount raised by West Wycombe Chamber Choir. The choir sang like angels and every penny will go towards funding respite for Buckinghamshire’s dementia family carers.”
