Encore Singers choir always endeavours to raise as much money as possible in support of local charities. And this month's concert not only put a little love into summer but raised a whopping £1232 for Brian House, our local children's hospice.

Attending were Kim Critchley the Mayor of Blackpool and Consort Elect Mel Fenlon as well as Ambassador and Trustee of Brian House, Christopher Beverley.

Christopher explained about the incredible service Brian House provides and the importance of events such as ours to raise awareness and much needed funds.

The evening was full of joy and laughter with songs such as Fields of Gold and My Guy as well as anecdotes, poems and solos. A truly uplifting and varied evening of entertainment.

A huge thank you goes to Ralph and his team at Poulton Methodist Church who help make the evening run smoothly and providing refreshments and finally, to the audience for making the evening such a success.

Our next fundraising events are November 3 (celebrating the end of WW2, VE day and VJ day) and for Christmas, December 16.
