THE Basingstoke Hospital Male Voice Choir will stage a fundraising concert next week.

The choristers will perform at Alton Community Centre next Friday, November 18, to raise funds for the Ark Cancer Centre Charity.

The £5m Ark Cancer Centre Charity appeal will ensure that a range of support services and complementary therapies are available alongside chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatments in a calm and uplifting environment in a unique cancer treatment centre.

Being largely funded by Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, with essential support from the charity, the new centre is earmarked for a location in the Basingstoke and Deane area, and if the preferred site near to junction 7 of the M3 is approved, it will be easily accessible to everyone in the Hampshire Hospitals region which includes Alton and its neighbouring communities.

Next Friday’s concert starts at 7.30pm and tickets, priced £5, are available from Alton Community Centre reception or by calling 01420 85057.
