We are unbelievably excited to finally hold our rescheduled Spring Gospel Concert on Saturday 14th May to raise money to help Ukrainian refugees in Berkshire.

Our Spring Gospel Concert will feature a performance by our long-time supporters, the incredible Reading Community Gospel Choir.

The concert comes after nearly two years wait, having had the double disappointment of cancelling our Christmas Gospel Carols Concert in 2020 and 2021 because of COVID.

After such a long wait, we cannot wait to finally see Reading Community Gospel Choir perform their powerful and uplifting Gospel music that saw them crowned champions of the BBC Gospel Choir of the Year competition.

Our Spring Gospel Concert is raising money for our Ukraine Emergency Appeal.

Following the Afghanistan Crisis last August, demand for our services has flown by more than 460%.

We’re supporting more than 800 people being housed in hotels locally. We’re helping 35 Afghan families to settle permanently here in Berkshire. We’re continuing to support the hundreds of refugees living in the wider community.

Now the war in Ukraine has forced 4 million people to flee their homes and Ukrainian families have started arriving in Berkshire. We’re already supporting them with information, advice, mental health support and practical help but we expect many more families to arrive and we need your help to give them the support they urgently need.

All the money raised from the Spring Gospel Concert will go directly to expanding our support services, so every refugee arriving in Berkshire can get the help they need.
