Each year Saints’ Singers raises money for a charity at their Christmas performances. This year we’ve chosen to support the brilliant work of two local charities - Scunthorpe Samaritans and Nottinghamshire & Lincolnshire Air Ambulance.
The local Air Ambulance are a helicopter based emergency service and their team of doctors and paramedics carry life-saving equipment on board both their helicopters and critical care cars which means that they can take an emergency department directly to the scene of some of the most serious incidents across Lincolnshire & Nottinghamshire. They attend on average four incidents a day yet receive no financial support from the government or the NHS towards their running costs. Find out more about their life-saving work here: https://www.ambucopter.org.uk/what-we-do/
At Scunthorpe Samaritans, they are dedicated to providing vital support to individuals who are feeling upset, overwhelmed, or struggling to cope with life's challenges, including those experiencing suicidal thoughts. Their commitment to helping others is reflected in the fact that Samaritans' answer a call every 6 seconds and respond to thousands of emails every year.

Your donations to these brilliant causes would mean a lot to us - and if you’d prefer to donate offline, we’ll have our fundraising buckets out at our performance on the 17th December!
