Event Date
Carol Concert – 4th December 2024

Thank you to everyone who attended this year’s SWV Carol Concert and helped to make it such a special evening. We are always so grateful to all of the generous support shown at such fundraising events. A special thank you to all sponsors, and to everyone who made kind donations to help to support the ongoing work of SWV. And thank you to everyone who volunteered their time and worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make this fantastic event such a success.

Last year’s concert was a sell out and a huge success, and this was another concert that became a wonderful evening full of festive fun and musical delights. The extra special part of the evening was hearing directly from a few of the SWV Veterans themselves, who took the time to come and join us on this special evening and kindly shared their battles and difficulties with us all and explaining how SWV has helped them onto a brighter future.

We were delighted to welcome along Dame Vanessa Redgrave, Joely Richardson, Dominic West and James Purefoy as our guest readers – and we were truly lucky to have Sonoro and soprano Ellie Laugharne as part of the spectacular line up too.



The concert took place on 4th December at St Colomba’s Church, Pont Street, London.

The Drinks Reception was held immediately after the Concert in the hall beneath the Church – all ticket holders were welcomed to join us for fizz and canapés, and to get the chance to buy our ‘Lucky Envelope’ prizes.

A huge thank you to all who have got involved with the Sponsor a Programme Bauble this year and have kindly donated – a special thank you to –

Flora and Oscar Resouly, Virginia Learmond, Scylla Learmond, Slipper Mason, Olivia Dobson, Hannah Dobson, Nick Tingley, Ben Tingley, Tassilo, Chalet PasMal, The Browning Family, Daphne Scheder-Bieschin, Ollie, Leo & Sammy Hipkins and to all who made anonymous donations.


Many thanks also to Elizabeth Brown for kindly photographing the event, and to Corney & Barrow and Hatch Mansfield for their donations and discounts towards refreshments at the Drinks Party
