Festive Soirée raises £1200

Festive Fundraising Concert Raises £1,200 for Charlotte Straker House

A festive fundraising concert held in Corbridge has raised an impressive £1,200 in support of The Charlotte Straker Project, thanks to the generosity and talent of local performers and the community.

The event, A Festive Soirée, was hosted by the women of Wildflowers A Cappella and took place on Saturday 13th December at Corbridge Parish Hall. The sell-out evening featured a programme of festive carols and well-loved songs, creating a warm start to the Christmas season.

Guests were also treated to a special performance by Eddie Nickson of Tanners Yard Band, who stepped in on the night and helped make the event a success.

Tickets included festive nibbles and a welcome drink, and every penny raised will go towards supporting the charitable work of Charlotte Straker House, which provides specialist nursing, residential and respite care for adults aged over 65.

Steve Adams, Chief Executive of The Charlotte Straker Project, said:
“We are incredibly grateful to Wildflowers A Cappella and Eddie Nickson for sharing their talents in aid of our charity, and to everyone who came along to support the evening. Events like this not only raise vital funds, but also bring our community together in support of the people we care for. The generosity shown at this concert will make a real difference to our home and the residents we support.”

The charity would like to extend thanks to Wildflowers A Cappella, Eddie Nickson, and everyone who attended and supported this special event. Community support such as this plays a vital role in enabling Charlotte Straker House to continue providing high-quality care.
