Carols for Everyone 2021
Carols for Everyone was back in Southwell Minster on 11th December, after missing in 2020 due to Covid restriction. Despite the restrictions on numbers, wearing of masks while singing and the growing panic over Omicron, we had a capacity audience, who had a wonderful evening on music and song, while remembering the true message of Christmas.
Our thanks go to Southwell Orchestral and Choral Societies, Paul Provost on the organ, Bleasby Junior School and the Major Oak Chorus for performing, as well as Nick Harding for taking on master of ceremonies once again, the Minster vergers for setting up and clearing up afterwards, Southwell Minster for allowing us to hold the event there and, of course, to everyone who came along and so generously supported the Lions and SRiS, the charity to which the proceeds from the event will be given.
This community event was held in aid of Support Refugees in Southwell (SRiS), a local charity that supports Syrian and Afghan refugees who have escaped war and persecution in their own countries and settled in Southwell. As a result of the funds raised tonight, SRiS will be able to do so much more to help these lovely people as they establish their new lives in our community.
