STROUD choir, The Thames Head Singers have raised £645 at their annual summer concert which was held at Woodchester Priory.

The money will go towards an appeal by local charity, Hope for Tomorrow, to raise funds for a new generation mobile chemotherapy unit for Gloucestershire.

Hope for Tomorrow, is based in Tetbury and was launched in 2003 to bring cancer treatment closer to home for patients by providing Mobile Chemotherapy Units to the NHS in a unique partnership.

The current Gloucestershire Unit has been in operation since 2007 and is now due to be replaced – so far the appeal has achieved 60 per cent of the £247,500 needed to achieve this goal.

The Thames Head Singers are now rehearsing for their Christmas concert which is to be held at St George’s Church, Brockworth on Saturday, December 10.

New members, particularly tenors and bases, are most welcome – see thsingers.org.uk for details.
