Gospel Carols Service 2022
Friday 9th December | 7pm – 9pm

Reading Minster Church, Reading, RG1 2HX

Buy your tickets, sing with us, and help refugees in Berkshire this Christmas.

Following the smash success of our Spring Gospel Concert in May 2022, we’re pleased to announce the return of our Gospel Carols Service 2022!

We are proud to once again be partnering with our long-time supporters, the incredible Reading Community Gospel Choir.

Reading Community Gospel Choir have previously won the BBC Gospel Choir of the Year competition and will be performing Gospel versions of everyone’s favourite Christmas carols.

We are hugely excited to be joined by the brilliant Bridgitte Tetteh from BBC Radio Berkshire, who will be compering the event and adding her showbiz to proceedings!

It promises to be a truly special event that is guaranteed to kickstart your Christmas!

Can You Help Refugees In Berkshire This Christmas?

Refugee Support Group has been providing advice, support, social activities and practical help for refugees in Berkshire since 1994, but the situation right now is tougher than we’ve ever seen.

The Government are stirring up racism and hatred, refugees are being kept in inhumane conditions like at Manston detention centre, and the spiralling Cost of Living crisis is hitting already destitute refugees that are struggling to afford food and clothing.

Last year, the Afghanistan and Ukraine conflicts saw demand for our services soared by more than 460%. With the current situation, that demand has continued to grow and we are struggling to support the number of people that need our help.

That’s why we need your help.

Please buy your ticket and join us at our Gospel Carols Service to help refugees facing crisis in Berkshire this Christmas.

If you’re unable to join us, please consider making a monthly donation of £5 a month – the cost of two coffees – to help refugees rebuild their lives in Berkshire.
