In past years we were amazed by the numbers who turned up to support Christmas Carols around the Tree. However Chrristmas Eve 2025 (7 days ago) we were simply knocked over by the amazing turnout!
The total amount we raised was £454 which will be equally shared between Christian Aid and Chester Aid to the Homeless.
We hope everyone enjoyed the Carols, and would like to thank everyone involved - including some young helpers from Scotland who assisted by holding collection buckets at the carpark and moving heavy sound equipment! Also thanks must be given to those who set up with mince pies and mulled wine, and Bob for playing the piano! Many thanks also to Huw Morgan for setting up the sound system!
We hope to see you all next year!
