Songbirds love to bring music to the community and while they do this any monies raised are donated to Charity. Each year, all members of Songbirds Choir are invited to nominate a Charity for the choir to support; votes are counted at our AGM to determine our Charities to support over the coming year.
This year Songbirds have chosen the following two Charities:
TLT was founded six years ago by a lovely lady named JoJo. She was operating from her house in Cowfold but the needs have been growing and she’s now running from a bigger premises in Crawley. She helps mums-to-be and families in need with equipment and clothing for children aged 0-12.
The Golden Lions Children’s Trust (NB not the big organisation the Lions!) was founded in 1973 by some Gatwick employees. They work in Sussex and the South East, supporting underprivileged children and children with special needs. They provide day trips and holidays as well as specialist items for special schools, homes and hospitals
