Each year we choose a charity to support.
Proceeds from our concerts go to this charity.
Routes to Roots
Routes to Roots is founded on Christian principles and supports rough sleepers, vulnerably housed (sofa surfers or in B&Bs) and newly housed (formerly homeless) adults in Poole regardless of their faith.
We are primarily staffed by a wonderful army of volunteers and their commitment to helping others over the years has allowed us to make a difference to so many lives.
​
The Genesis Centre is open Monday to Friday offering breakfast at 10am to rough sleepers and a freshly cooked 2 course lunch at 1pm each day. We also provide access to showers, laundry facilities, an internet cafe, clothing, sleeping bags and practical assistance for those moving into accommodation, as needed.
Amongst others, working from our premises regularly are BCP Housing team, St Mungo’s, Shelter and With You. We also have a GP attend weekly, a chiropodist and a hairdresser who both come in once a month offering their services for free.
​
Vivamente Voices will be supporting the work of this much needed charity over the coming academic year. For more information please visit their website by clicking on their logo.
Some of our previous charities...
Beaucroft School
We are thrilled to have been able to present a cheque to ​The Association of Friends of Beaucroft School for £2000.
​
Beaucroft is a Foundation Special School that caters for children and young people between the ages of four and nineteen who are experiencing learning difficulties, including complex needs, and those with an Autistic Spectrum Disorder. Their pupils’ needs range vastly and the school staff are dedicated to giving the very best education to the children that they deserve.

In Jolly Good Company
In Jolly Good Company plays an important role in the improvement of people’s physical and mental health. They look beyond lost skills to focus on the positivity of what people are able to do now.
We were pleased to make a donation of £1425 to continue their good work.

Forest Holme Hospice
After a fun-filled year of fund-raising for Forest Holme Hospice in Poole, we are so pleased to be able to present a cheque for £4,500. Thank you so much for all your support this year in helping us to raise such a fantastic amount of money!
Mosaic
We are so delighted that our Christmas Concert raised a fantastic £1000 for MOSAIC which has brought our final total to £4750.
Thank you to everyone who has supported the choir over the last couple of years and helped us to achieve this wonderful amount of money for this deserving charity.
