Based in Stratford and Warwick, The Contemporary Choir is a 400-member rock, pop, Disney and musical theatre choir heading into their 7th year of performing and raising vital funds for The Myton Hospices. Run by husband-and-wife team, Paul and Melissa Asbridge, the duo provide uplifting song choices, coaching and a variety of resources to ensure all members have a fulfilling experience.

 

Every concert during their seven years of performing has been in aid of Myton, together with other worthy charities, and over the years, the group have raised £14,314.01 for Myton.

 

Melissa commented:

Our very first performance was supporting quite a few charities, but we unfortunately lost a close friend and choir member who was looked after so wonderfully at Myton. Heather Smith was such a lovely lady, and when I came to visit her at Myton, I was able to see and was moved by what the hospice is and does for its patients.

The surroundings, the team, and the calm, nurturing atmosphere was a balm to the sadness. From that moment, we knew we would dedicate all our support to the charity.

Since then, we have lost other members who were looked after at Myton, and many members have their own experiences of family and friends who were looked after there too.

Myton means a lot to people who have been involved with the hospice, and it is a cause very much worthy of ongoing support from the local community.

We are proud of the support we’ve given, and we will continue to be strong advocates for the charity at every opportunity to ensure they can continue to help so many local people in the hardest of times.

Louise Careless, Community Fundraiser at The Myton Hospices, said:

 

We are incredibly grateful for the continued support from Melissa, Paul and every single member of The Contemporary Choir. We recently launched our Urgent Appeal to raise £240,000 to fund the recruitment, training and salary of five Registered Nurses for a year to ensure people can access a Hospice Bed when they need it.

The choir’s fundraising over the last seven years, raising over £14,000 for Myton, is amazing and crucial in ensuring we can be there for more people when they need us most, now and in the future. Thank you to The Contemporary Choir!

The Contemporary Choir would love to see you at their Christmas Concert and would like to thank you for your support in their effort to raise funds for Myton.
