A CONCERT arranged in just two weeks has raised more than two grand for Ukraine.
Members of the Reading Male Voice Choir performed at Christ Church in Woodley on Saturday, March 12, in a bid to boost the coffers of the relief effort for refugees fleeing Putin’s invasion.
Joining the singers was Hannah Lebretch.
Everyone gave their time for free to maximise the amount raised for the Red Cross’ Ukraine appeal.
And the church was packed out: more than 100 people, including Wokingham Borough mayor Cllr Keith Baker, attended.
In the end, the event raised £2,570.
Martin Butler, secretary of Reading Male Voice Choir, said: “We are amazed, and give our thanks at the amount of support and funds raised from the community with this concert.”
The choir are back in action again on Saturday, March 26, this time at St Edmund Campion Church in nearby Maidenhead. The music starts at 7.30pm.
Tickets are free, with donations requested for the Red Cross appeal.
