Pendle Ladies Choir has raised £1,000 for Pendleside Hospice in memory of a much-loved former member.
The choir presented a cheque to Leah Hooper from Pendleside Hospice at its rehearsal this week following fundraising events held throughout the year.
Much of the money was raised at the choir’s annual charity concert, which this year was held in memory of Sue Hartley.
Sue had been a member of Pendle Ladies Choir for more than 35 years and was a keen supporter of the hospice.
The concert featured some of Sue’s favourite songs and also included the performance of a new piece of music bought with money left to the choir in her memory.
Pendle Community Orchestra also performed on the night, while John Garrett, the choir’s former musical director, gave a special solo performance.
The event proved an emotional occasion for choir members and those who knew Sue, while also helping to raise valuable funds for Pendleside Hospice.
The £1,000 donation was formally handed over to Leah Hooper during this week’s rehearsal.
