This Saturday (16 July) there will be over 12 hours of performances taking place at a Southfields Church as part of a fundraising drive.

Dubbed a ‘performathon’, from 7.30am to 7.30pm there will be no fewer than THIRTY performances of music, theatre, dance and poetry together with audience participation in a community sing-along.

Local MP Fleur Anderson is one of the participants, as is the Cygnet Players and renowned cellist Mayda Narvey. Music ranges from Choral Compline to Salsa (including a chance to dance) to Folk and Klezmer.

Singers of all ages and ability are warmly invited to join the Come and Sing Choral Evensong. Rehearsal begins at 3pm for the service at 5.30pm. A recommended £20 donation will cover the cost of your score and after-service refreshments, including a glass of wine for the over-18s. Click here to register.

See here for the current schedule.

Entrance is free and you can drop in at anytime but you are encouraged to make a donation to the church's depeleted Reserve Funds via cash or card.

You can also add a donation online.

 

Find Articles Like This Useful? Help Us Produce More

This site remains committed to providing local community news and public interest journalism.

Articles such as the one above are integral to what we do. We aim to feature as much as possible on local societies, charities based in the area, fundraising efforts by residents, community-based initiatives and even helping people find missing pets.

We’ve always done that and won’t be changing, in fact we’d like to do more.

However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do.

We are therefore asking our readers to consider offering financial support to these efforts. Any money given will help support community and public interest news and the expansion of our coverage in this area.

A suggested monthly payment is £8 but we would be grateful for any amount for instance if you think this site offers the equivalent value of a subscription to a daily printed newspaper you may wish to consider £20 per month. If neither of these amounts is suitable for you then contact info@neighbournet.com and we can set up an alternative. All payments are made through a secure web site.

One-off donations are also appreciated. Choose The Amount You Wish To Contribute.

If you do support us in this way we’d be interested to hear what kind of articles you would like to see more of on the site – send your suggestions to the editor.

For businesses we offer the chance to be a corporate sponsor of community content on the site. For £30 plus VAT per month you will be the designated sponsor of at least one article a month with your logo appearing if supplied. If there is a specific community group or initiative you’d like to support we can make sure your sponsorship is featured on related content for a one off payment of £50 plus VAT. All payments are made through a secure web site.
