Bridlington Carol Singers Raise Over £500

Christian Aid supporters in Bridlington raised more than £500 and spread some Christmas cheer with a spot of carol singing.

Bridlington Christian Aid Group members treated shoppers the Promenades to a medley of yuletide favourites in support of the charity’s Christmas Appeal  which this year is shining a light on South Sudan where hundreds of thousands of people are seeking safety from the conflict in neighbouring Sudan.

Christian Aid works through local partners on initiatives aimed at supporting families as they settle into the refugee camps, and in the longer term as they try to forge new lives.

To help raise funds for these vital projects, the charity’s supporters are raising their voices with carol concerts and Advent services around the UK.

Bridlington spokesperson Janet Padwick said:

"We had a very successful day and raised a fantastic £576.49.

Funds raised will help groups like the Smile Again Africa Development Organisation which offers a lifeline to people who have had to leave everything behind.

Fleeing conflict does not mean the danger is over and the decision to leave is not taken lightly. But thanks to supporters throughout the UK, aid agencies are able to offer support."
