The talented Andreas Ensemble group of singers celebrated Christmas in style in a carol concert at St. Andrew’s Church in support of Marie Curie. Organist, Brian Varley, provided the musical accompaniment as the audience joined with the singers to enter into the Christmas spirit by singing many well-loved Christmas carols. The concert raised £209 which will help provide ‘end of life care’ for the terminally ill within their own homes in the Bishop Auckland area.

The Bishop Auckland Fundraising Group meets on the first Tuesday of the month in the Community Fire Station on Watling Road at 1.30pm. New members are always welcome to join this friendly group. For further details contact Elizabeth Varley (01388) 606075
