MEMBERS of Appleton Thorn Village Choir are set to join in on a fundraising event this Sunday to Support the Mothers and People in Ukraine.
The event, organised by Cantores Oecumenica, is dedicating their world premier of new work on Palm Sunday (which was to be presented in 2020) to the Mothers of Ukraine, but will benefit all.
Entry is FREE but there will be (as usual) a retiring collection for charity. This year it is for the Ukraine Charity 2022 War Crisis Appeal. The money will be used to provide urgent medical supplies and equipment to Ukraine.
Ukraine Charity says: “The funds will be used to procure medicines and medical equipment from UK and European suppliers. Donations have already been used to purchase trauma treatment packages, and the list of others essentials to be supplied is growing rapidly.
A team of volunteers is currently liaising with the Ukrainian national healthcare system and verified local NGOs on the one side, and with suppliers that can address these needs on the other side. The current focus is on first aid. Critical supplies to be secured at the next stage include portable ventilators, patient monitors, defibrillators, ultrasound diagnostic devices, first aid kits and emergency surgery equipment.”
You can support this, whatever your faith or none, by coming to Holy Angels RC Church, Wicker Lane, Hale Barns WA15 0HF on Sunday 10th April 2022 at 4pm to hear ‘Stabat Mater’ a new work of collaboration between the Musical Director of Cantores Oecumenica (Neil Provost) and the prolific English composer Robert Steadman will be performed with Jonathan Scott (of the Scott Brothers) at the organ, Mezzo Soprano Joyce Tindsley, Baritone Adam Marsden.
