Donating concert proceeds to Barts Cancer Unit

We are pleased to let you know that we were able to hand over the proceeds from concerts throughout the year to the Interim Director of Nursing, Angela Robinson, in the total of £2,372. All of which goes towards extras for patients and staff at Barts Cancer Unit.

This is only possible due to the generosity of our audiences, BAFCO members, and those who attend our Come & Sing events. Thank you for helping to make a real difference.
