A FREE festive concert performed by the Droitwich Community Choir at the town’s Salvation Army Community Hall raised £400 in donations.
More than 100 people attended and the cash will now be split between the choir, to pay for outdoor sound equipment, at the Droitwich Salvation Army’s Christmas appeal.
The Droitwich Community Choir, which was founded in 2012 and now has more than 60 members, was joined by the Pro Fide Brass Band for the evening of Christmas and light music.
A spokesperson said: “It went very well indeed.
“Making it free meant a lot of people turned up and they all gave very generously to the causes.”
The Droitwich Community Choir provides free concerts at many events during the year, taking part in the Droitwich Food and Drink Festival, St Richard’s Festival, SaltFest and other events.
Many of Droitwich’s care homes enjoy visits from the choir, and, when the Christmas lights have their official switching-on ceremony, the choir leads a service of carols in St Andrew’s Church.
The choir is open to all who love singing a varied repertoire of songs and there are no auditions.
