Our third and final performance, a collaboration between TY students, the service users of Prosper Fingal and some senior citizens from the TY Friendly Voices music group. As a result of the situation we find ourselves in, we've had to adapt quite a lot of our TY programme and links. We've been unable to invite our Senior Citizens into the hall on a Wednesday to sing with our TYs, or travel up to Prosper Fingal to sing and perform with the service users on a Tuesday, but have found new ways of communicating with them and have new projects to work on. But for this week, we've been able to bring them back together to sing! Listen here, tissue recommended.
Ethos of the campaign is 'local' - local students, seeking local donations, which will be spent on vouchers in local shops, for distribution in the local community by the St Vincent de Paul.
The Campaign ends on Sunday 13th Dec .Please please support this worthy cause .Donate here
