Three Peaks, Three Choirs,

Most members of Banbury Rotary will know Helen Swift and Jonathan French who have played a pivotal role in enabling the club’s hugely successful work with schools on Children Singing for Children and other concerts.

The pandemic has stymied club efforts to run these concerts this year but, ever resourceful, Helen and Jonathan have found other ways of raising funds for charities – many of which are facing cash shortfalls to meet escalating demands during these strange times!

You can read more about their project below or for more detail go to their page that also allows you to donate.

One Voice, One Mind!

150 singers are participating in climbing the 3 Peaks – Ben Nevis, Scafell and Snowdon…. some physically and some virtually (à la Captain Tom) singing at the summits to raise their voices and money for “Mind” and other choir charities.  

Helen Swift (MD) and Jonathan French (pianist) are leading the challenge climbing Ben Nevis (4,413 feet) and Scafell Pike (3,281 feet) on 25th/26th September and Snowdon (3,560 feet) on 11th October with a keyboard to sing at the top!!  Hundreds of singers are joining to walk the 22,110 steps either in person or virtually in their homes, villages and towns.  Socially distanced fundraising, all taking up the mantle of working together for a common cause, support!

The Oxford Welsh Male Voice Choir, Towcester Choral Society and Thame Choral Society are all combining with one common goal to raise their voices and funds to support the mental health charity “Mind” and their choirs.
