On Thursday 23rd November, 180 pupils from Primary Schools around Worcestershire gathered at Malvern St James Girls’ School for the “Big Sing”, a celebration of children’s voices. Each child taking part in the Big Sing was encouraged to bring one or more items to donate to The Trussell Trust Worcester and Malvern Foodbanks.
MSJ’s Prep Music Coordinator, Elizabeth MacDonald, organises the annual charity concert inviting local schools to join together as one massed choir. This year the event grew in size considerably, with seven local schools taking part: Cradley C of E Primary School, Suckley Primary School, Pitmaston Primary School, The Downs Malvern, Welland Primary School, Eldersfield Lawn C of E Primary School and Madresfield C of E Primary School, alongside Year 3 and 4 pupils from Malvern St James.
Over 200 proud parents gathered to watch the concert on Thursday afternoon, with children singing a mixture of Christmas tunes and uplifting songs to raise spirits and awareness for the important work of our local Foodbanks.
