NI: Legal choir concert raises £10,000 for Belfast Homeless
A choir of solicitors, barristers and other legal professionals has raised a magnificent £10,000 in aid of Belfast’s homeless after holding a concert earlier this year.
The Pro Bono Choir presented a cheque for the cash raised through their concert, titled A Place Called Home, held back in May, to The Welcome Organisation.
The event saw the choir perform with Belfast musical icon Brian Kennedy, the amazing Fr. Liam Lawton, the Abaana New Life Children’s Choir from Uganda, and barrister baritone Karl McGuckin.
Sandra Moore, CEO of the Welcome Organisation, said: “We would like to express our sincere thanks to the Pro Bono Choir for choosing the Welcome Organisation as the charity to benefit from A Place Called Home.
“The money raised from the Concert will go towards the charity’s range of services for people affected by homelessness across Belfast. We could not provide the full level of support that we do without the generosity of groups like the Pro Bono Choir and everyone who has contributed to and attended the concert.”
