The Plymouth Area Police Choir performed a concert organised by the Ridgeway Methodist Church in Plympton to raise funds for Dame Hannahs charity.
The choir is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. Originally set up for police force officers in 1972, they now accept prospective male members from all walks of life as long as they can sing and hold a tune. They aim to perform about 15 concerts each year in and around the Plymouth area, to raise money for local and national charities.
John Streeter, choir secretary said:
“We were delighted to be invited to sing at the Ridgeway Methodist Church to raise money for Dame Hannahs. We feel that the evening was a success and the audience was very receptive.” Over £270 was raised at the event.
Dame Hannahs community engagement officer, Debbie Lumsdon, said:
“I was delighted to attend the Plymouth Area Police Choir concert organised by the Ridgeway Methodist Church. It was a magical evening and I would like to thank everyone who came out on a very rainy night to attend and support Dame Hannahs. I would also like to thank Florence Bonner the soloist for sharing the evening with us.”
