Making a noise for Willen Hospice this October
FRIENDS of Willen Hospice are holding a ‘Singing for Willen’ concert in October to raise funds for the specialist palliative care charity,
The concert takes place at 7.30pm on Saturday, October 20 at Newport Pagnell Parish Church, coinciding with National Hospice Care Week on the Monday of that week.
The event will see a national focus and awareness campaign on the work of hospices and how they affect communities in the UK.
This is the fourth concert Friends of Willen Hospice have hosted at Newport Pagnell and will involve a variety of music taking to the stage for ‘Singing for Willen’.
