A call was put out for volunteers to help with bucket donations at the Christmas concert of G4. The event was held at Winchester Cathedral and the partner charity was Missing People.
Five members of SI Winchester responded and reported for volunteer duty on 15 November. The G4 group of young men are classically oriented and the concert included Christmas songs as well as light hearted sing-a-long tunes.
Before the audience arrived, we met the singers in their hospitality area and then went on to the cathedral. After escorting people to their seats and selling programmes, we were free to watch the concert, which was very well attended.
At the end we were given our buckets to collect monies from the departing visitors. We have been thanked by the charity for collecting over £500 for the charity.
