RUSHMOOR Male Voice Choir, known locally as the ‘Odd Fellows’, have announced their summer concert on June 9 in Princes Hall Aldershot will be used to raise funds for the Help for Heroes charity.

The charity, which supports those with injuries and illnesses sustained while serving in the British Armed Forces, was delighted by this news.

The group give individuals the support they need to lead active, independent and fulfilling lives.

James Burns, Help for Heroes regional manager, said: “Long-term recovery is more than repairing damaged bodies and minds, it’s about rebuilding lives, so we would like to thank Rushmoor ‘Odd Fellows’ Male Voice Choir for choosing to support Help for Heroes. On behalf of those that we support, thank you.”

Peter Viveash, chairman of The Rushmoor Male Voice Choir, added: “Many of our members are ex-servicemen and so have a great admiration for the work of Help for Heroes. We are privileged to help them in our own way.

“And with the concert taking place in the traditional home of the British Army, Aldershot, it was an ideal choice to select Help for Heroes to receive the funds raised.”

The concert will include a guest performance by trumpeter Toby Coles, who has toured and recorded with several leading orchestras and performers. Toby regularly plays in West End shows and is currently lead trumpeter in the musical Wicked.

Tickets for the concert on June 9 are £12, and can be obtained from the Princes Hall box office on 01252 329 155 or online at www.princeshall.com.
