Message from the Chairman

I am honoured to have been asked to be The Chairman of The Manchester & Districts Hospitals’ Choir whose hard work and dedication not only provide a wonderful way to start Christmas at their two Bridgewater Hall Christmas Concerts but also because of the hundreds of thousands they have raised for the wonderful Charity they support, exclusively.

If you have yet to attend one of their concerts you have a great treat in store and it helps towards raising much needed cash for this most worthwhile of Charities, CLIC Sargent.

CLIC Sargent, full details of which you can find elsewhere in this website, helps and supports not only children and young people with cancer, but also their families. The support of CLIC Sargent makes a huge difference in helping alleviate and deal with the stress and problems associated with a child being diagnosed with cancer.

To help the choir, made up of medical and nursing staff from throughout the region and who, voluntarily, give up their valuable time supporting CLIC Sargent, please come along and join in one of these concerts to help raise funds for this fantastic charity.

We look forward to welcoming you

Sharman Birtles MBE JP DL Chairman Manchester & Districts Hospitals’ Choir
