A CHARITY Gospel carol service is to return.
The event will take place at Reading Minster on Friday, December 17.
The fundraiser is a joint venture between Reading Refugee Support Group and Reading Community Gospel Choir.
The choir won BBC Gospel Choir of the Year in 2019, a title they currently retain due to covid.
This year’s event promises to be a Christmas carol service with a difference, with gospel choir style renditions of favourite carols and a telling of the Nativity story through the eyes of refugees.
A spokesperson for RRSG said: “We are unbelievably excited for the return of our concert after a two year wait.”
Following the recent Afghanistan crisis, the number of refugees needing the support of RRSG in Berkshire has increased. The money raised will help provide mental health support, social activities, practical help and advice for the many families in need.
The 2019 concert sold out and raised thousands of pounds for RRSG. This year’s concert will be followed by mulled wine, mince pies and baklava.
