Supporting the Church in Helping the Homeless

4/3/2019

Two members of West Kirby United Reformed Church, Donna and Paul Meadows, were so moved by the plight of the homeless on the streets of Liverpool that they have joined with others to take hot food and warm clothing and sleeping bags to those sleeping on the streets.  Wirral Community Orchestra members decided to help in this work by collecting warm socks, hats, scarves and gloves to add to Paul's collection to be given freely to those in need. Big thank you to all who gave and supported this great work.

An early Christmas present for the orchestra
December 9th 2017
Wirral Community Orchestra has been awarded £1000 from the Liverpool Empire Trust, which celebrates 150 years of providing live theatre entertainment in the city of Liverpool. As part of the celebration, £20,000 in grants of up to £2000 were offered to amateur arts groups.  The orchestra applied for funding for new music stand covers so that our performances can have that little extra professional appearances! On December 9th, Lesley, Richard and Vicky went to an awards ceremony at the theatre to receive the cheque. A big thank you to the trust from all of our players.  We will send a photograph of the orchestra at our summer concert when we hope to have some new covers complete with our logo.
