Devon choir raise £17,000 for CLIC Sargent 

La La Choirs held their annual ‘CLIC for Christmas’ concert at Exeter Cathedral in December 2017 and raised an enormous £17,000.

Performing to another sold-out audience at Exeters iconic landmark, la la Choirs started the festive season off with a bang with a selection of Christmas favourites, old and new. 

The Devon based choir were joined on stage by the winning choir from their Devon Schools Choir Competition, Kingsley School from Bideford, as well as the CLIC Sargent singers, a group of young people who have all at some point been CLIC Sargent service users and have taken part in their music programme. 

Jordan Anderton, CLIC Sargent fundraising manager for Cornwall & Devon said: "To raise over £17,000 in one evening is absolutely incredible. The La La Choir, Kingsley School and the very emotional CLIC Sargent Singers put on a show that many will remember for years to come. In return the audience were incredibly generous. I would once again like to thank Sam and Claire for the countless hours of hard work that you put into making this event happen and to every singer and audience member for making it such a magical evening."

Sam Abrahams from La La Choirs added: “Each year the CLIC for Christmas concert gets better and better and we are absolutely over the moon with the amount of money we managed to raise. We were very fortunate this year to have secured headline sponsors, Apple Taxis, whose support was invaluable and helped us achieve our target."

The money that the La La Choir have raised could fund a room in CLIC Sargent Home from Home for nearly 18 months. These homes from home save each family on average £2100. The money that the La La Choir have raised is truly life changing for the families CLIC Sargent support.”
