Carols in the Wokingham mall raise GBP 300 for charity
Local residents joined Wokingham Borough Council’s mayor Cllr Annette Drake to sing in the Christmas season with traditional carols around the tree, on Friday December 21 in the Mall at the Civic Offices, Shute End in Wokingham. And this year Carols in the Mall raised £300.
Carols hosted by the Wokingham mayor are held each year and local residents are always welcome to join in the festive fun where they can enjoy a glass of mulled wine and a mince pie, and sing along to favourite Christmas carols.
This year Berkshire Maestros South Berkshire youth brass group once again provided the music, and the mayor was joined by councillors, officers and visitors for singing, mulled wine, and a collection for the mayor’s charity Building for the Future.
Building for the Future is an umbrella group of five charities that already work with disabled children and their families locally: Peapods, Friends of Ryeish Green Bungalow, Mencap, Wokingham Autism Spectrum Partnership and Friends of Bridges. The charity’s vision is to provide a state-of-the-art building to cater for children’s individual needs as well as for community groups.
The mayor said: “It was a wonderful way to start Christmas. The young musicians are extremely talented and it was great to see everyone having a good time. Their interpretation Bohemian Rhapsody was especially good!”
