Ipswich Choral Society use their annual Christmas concert to raise money for local charities, having previously supported the EACH Treehouse Appeal and Somebody’s Daughter Memorial Fund. The Woolverstone Wish Appeal was chosen for the 2011 Christmas concert as some choir members were patients in the Oncology department of Ipswich Hospital. The Society was keen to contribute to the appeal which will fund the refurbishment of the Woolverstone Wing outpatient facilities and benefit all patients undergoing treatment.

Planning has already started for the next Christmas concert, and Ipswich Choral Society will again be supporting the Woolverstone Wish Appeal in 2012.
