Charities

Each year members of the choir propose local charities, or local branches of national charities, for support by means of a retiring collection at Waverley Singers concerts. In this way, the amount we have helped raise for charity since our concert programme restarted after the pandemic in October 2021 is over £15,000, and since proper records began in November 2015, nearly £27,000! Before that our records are incomplete, but we know that we were supporting charities for many years beforehand. (If anyone can fill in any gaps we would be most grateful!)

Below you can see a sample of our charity speakers at recent concerts, and logos of some of the charities we have supported. This is followed by a table showing the details of individual collections by season. More detail about the charities supported are accessible via the relevant concert pages in 'Events Archive'.
