Chapel-en-le-Frith Ladies’ Choir raised £925 in support of the Christie NHS Trust’s Adult Brain Tumour Fund with an afternoon tea concert at Townend Church on Sunday, May 21.

The singers welcomed the charity fundraising coordinator Adam George to a subsequent rehearsal, where choir president Hilary Batterbee handed over the cheque.

Adam spoke to the choir about the work of the fund, which pays for specialist research laboratory workers and resources alongside the main Christie charity’s mission.
