Thanks to your generosity, our amazing community has come together to raise a record-breaking £65,973 (inc. Gift Aid) for young singers through the Big Give Christmas Challenge.

I was so moved to see that 212 people from our community came together to donate in just one week. Every single £ was doubled by our generous match donors, The Emily Fund and Bernard Sunley Foundation, meaning your support will have twice the impact.

Your donations will allow us to deliver free regional SING! workshops and provide course bursaries for disadvantaged young people who would otherwise miss out.

You're helping to breakdown barriers and make sure every young person who wants to sing has the chance to do it. Every penny will make a direct difference.

From all of us at the National Youth Choir, we wish you and your family well this festive season. We hope you will join us at a concert in 2026 - to hear our amazing members doing what they do best – SING!
