Christmas carol service in Rushden to raise funds for mayor’s chosen charities in December
A carol concert at Park Road Baptist Church on December 5 will raise cash for a trio of charities, all selected by the town’s mayor.
Whitefriars Primary School Choir will be singing a range of festive songs from 6pm to help raise money on the day.
Attendees should be seated by 5.50pm, refreshments will be served during the interval.
A Rushden Town Council spokesman said: “This festive event is being held in support of the mayor’s chosen charities, Royal British Legion, Rushden Branch Dementia UK and Rushden Sea Cadets.
"The mayor, Cllr David Coleman, looks forward to welcoming you to an evening of festive cheer and community spirit in support of these worthy causes.”
The charities were selected by Cllr Coleman when he took the post in May, with Dementia UK being close to him after his mother-in-law passed away last year, and he said that the Sea Cadets also ‘do a lot of good work.’
