£1000 Presentation at AGM

At this year’s AGM, the Hospital Choir presented Jill Matthews (Chief Officer of Derby & Burton Hospital Charity) with a cheque for £1000 for the Diabetes and Endocrinology Department, raised at the 2022 Christmas Concert. The AGM was held at St. Alkmund’s Church on Kedleston Road – the venue for our next Christmas Concert.

Successful concert after 3 year gap!

The choir restarted with great enthusiasm after a three year Coivd gap. The concert, held in St. John’s Methodist Church, Allestree, on 9-December-2022 sold out with a full house of around 150 in the audience and nearly 50 in the choir. Thanks to the efforts of all involved, I am pleased to announce that the concert has raised £1000 for the hospital’s Diabetes and Endocrinology department! As part of restarting we also recently donated £2400 to Air Ambulance and £2400 to Derbyshire Blood Bikes – so a total of £5800 to good causes.

We have now retrieved our music from storage and are looking through it to plan the 2023 Christmas Concert – watch this space…
