I have been attending webinars given by the Benefact Group and they have been superb. They are a dedicated giving organisation, supported by financial services, including insurance. Their aim is to be the biggest corporate giver in the UK (currently 3rd or 4th I think).
This is a big giveaway (£120K in £1K chunks), so please can you all nominate the Choir – and other charities dear to your hearts (you can nominate more than 1).
We're giving away £120,000 in December12 Days of Giving is the festive final phase of the Benefact Group Movement for Good. In December, we’ll be giving 120 charities £1,000 each over 12 days.

Date Posted: Tue, 2 Apr 2024
We have received an email from the Millennium choir in Lancaster, who have yet to find a new MD from September. They currently have a temporary MD, who led them recently in a performance of one of his compositions at Lancaster Priory, which some of you may have seen; and they will be performing one of Andy Whitfield's compositions at their next concert (Andy set up the choir and wrote many pieces for the choir). The Millennium choir is a long standing community choir, and they are asking for word to be put out to anyone who may be interested in the role.
