A CHARITY Gospel carol concert has been postponed due to covid concerns.
The concert was to feature performances by Reading Community Gospel Choir, in aid of Reading Refugee Support Group. It was scheduled to take place on Friday, December 17 at Reading Minster.
The charity and choir are working to set a new date. All tickets will remain valid for the rescheduled date.
A announcement was posted on the RRSG website and social media on Friday.
In it, a spokesperson said that it was decided that it would have been irresponsible to go ahead as the covid situation is worsening.
“The safety of our supporters, staff and crew is paramount,” they said.
“We are truly gutted to cancel for the second year in a row, we’d been working really hard to make the show a success.”
Since the recent Afghanistan Crisis, RRSG has seen demand for its services grow by more than 400%. It supports 25 families settling in Berkshire permanently, as well as more than 700 men, women and children being temporarily housed in hotels locally.
The charity had hoped to raise money at the show to fund frontline services supporting refugees and asylum seekers across Berkshire.
