HMG Lottery Community Fund – Thank You #CommunitiesCan

Thanks to the Coronvirus Community Support Fund, distributed by The National Lottery Community Fund, for their award of £3,000 towards our operating costs over the last 6 months. This has helped keep the choir together (virtually) during the Covid-19 pandemic and also meet our wider community/charitable objectives. During this period, we also raised just under £10,000 in donations for 3 charities via two ambitious virtual fundraising events. Thank You.

Do you want to sing?

Ever thought of joining a choir? We’ve continued rehearsing online every week throughout lockdown. Why not give it a try? Come & join us on Zoom from 7.30pm on Tuesdays. Just message us for the link joinus@honleymvc.co.uk

We will soon (hopefully) be able to meet for real – so why not get yourself ready to join in!

Charity Donation

Thanks to our generous members and supporters who kindly donated for their messages in the Christmas edition of the choir’s newsletter, the Honley Mail. A total of £230 has been donated to Marie Curie Cancer Care.

Please Donate and Thank you!

Any donation is a wonderful way to pass on your love of male choral music to future generations, whilst also enabling the Choir to meet its overall charitable aims and objectives. If you would like to make a donation or just learn about what the choir has been up to since Lockdown began, please visit our JustGiving Page here – Sustaining a proud male choral tradition for today and tomorrow. – JustGiving

Have you always wanted to Sing?

If you have always wanted to try out for a choir, now is the best time. Come along to one of our online rehearsals on a Tuesday evening and join in….and the best thing is you can’t be heard. Sing in the comfort of your own home, be guided by our Musical Director and just sing along and see what you think. No pressure, no-ones listening, just try it on for size. We are a friendly choir and have been meeting weekly online and keeping our voices in trim. If you think this might be for you, get in touch with us for more information. You have nothing to lose! See you online. Rehearsals take place every Tuesday between 7.30 – 9.00 pm email: joinus@honleymvc.co.uk
