Sadly, the Committee had to make the decision to cancel the 2020 concerts. Rehearsals are also suspended until further notice. In a similar vein, our chosen charity for 2020, Long Buckby Library & Hub, will miss out on funds we would have raised this year. We have therefore agreed that we will carry over the charity to 2021 (and any funds raised later in 2020 will be a bonus).

Elation Community Voices were very happy to be able to present a cheque for £3,500 to the Dem Café committee at a recent rehearsal.
Dem Café was the charity that our members chose to support during 2019. We were very pleased to be able to present a cheque for £4,500 to Tanya Haji-Miller of Northampton Hope Centre, as a result of our fundraising during 2018.
Tanya had some encouraging news for us about the future of the Hope Centre. They will be able to stay at Oasis House until suitable new premises can be found.
