The Kingsmen four harmony chorus based in Kingsbridge have been raising money during 2018 to support their Chairman's Charity, which this year was chosen to be 'Young Minds' which is the leading charity in the UK championing the mental health and well being of young people.

Chairman Chris Birch said ”we are all aware of the high profile given to the needs of people deserving support for mental health issues and to choose a charity in this sector seemed an obvious choice to make. Being acutely aware that early intervention supporting young people is vital and a charity that supports parents, empowers children and young people, campaigns for change and supports professionals ticked the boxes for our Chairman's Charity.”

The Chorus has raised £1,150 for its chosen charity from performances within the community throughout the past twelve months. This has been achieved in and around a very busy year for the chorus that involved a 12 day tour to the USA in May/June and all the extensive organisation that made it a huge success.

“Apart from our love of singing and the camaraderie within the chorus, we enjoy performing in the community raising money and supporting many good causes".

To enable our maintaining the chorus with healthy numbers and keep our status as a 'community based chorus' we hold learn to sing courses every 2 years and are holding another one on 7th Nov.
