THANK YOU FOR supporting
OUR CHOSEN CHARITY ​for 2024

The two choirs (Gledholt Male Voice Choir and Marsh Ladies Choir), the young musicians from Musica Mirfield Senior String Ensemble, and our soloist Thom Meredith entertained our audience with some varied music. It was very well received by all. We hope to raise between £3500 and £4000 for  - Riziki Children's Organisation, in Nakuru, Kenya - through the UK charity Aenon Trust. Thank you for your support. You can still donate for the chosen charity on this page. See below.

Supporting Charities - Policy

Helping Charities and Community Organisations

We support Charities in different ways.
  • We can provide advice on setting up a coffee based, income generating activity.
  • We also raise money for local and national charities by holding coffee mornings.
  • We can provide small coffee machines, at a reduced prices or even consider donating refurbished coffee machines, for a charity to start an income generating activity.
  • We support charities by giving them small amounts of money, from time to time. The money for this purpose can be raised by us for a specific charity or by allocating some of our own income for charitable purposes.
  • If we raise money for specific charities, we ensure that this money is paid out immediately.  If we raise money for non-specific  charities, we shall hold this money in a specific fund and allocate this fund to charities of our choosing, based on a criteria that will be available for inspection by any charitable organisation or government or charities commission.
