We are a Charity

Our charitable purposes are:

(1) The study and practice of choral music in order to foster public knowledge and appreciation of such music by means of public performance.

(2) To assist and support such charitable institutions or purposes in the county of Derbyshire as the trustees shall from time to time determine.

Help us with donation. The money you give goes towards our costs (buying music, renting rehearsal and concert spaces, buying uniforms, paying collaborators etc) so that more of the money we bring in goes towards good causes.

Charity of the Year

Our Charity of the Year for 2025-2026 is Umbrella

Every concert season our members vote on one charity to be our Charity of the Year.

In our 2025-2026 season our members chose to support Umbrella, a local charity with centres at Umbrella House Mackworth and The Annie Hall Centre in Derby. They have been running since 1986 and are currently supporting over 1,700 families in Derby and Derbyshire.
