Bracknell

Angelic voices will fill the air on Friday, December 5 and Saturday, December 6, as Christmas shoppers bustle around The Meadows centre in Sandhurst.

Choirs from Owlsmoor Primary School, College Town Junior School and Easthampstead Park School will sing Christmas carols and other festive songs in support of the Mayor of the Borough of Bracknell Forest’s annual charity collection.

Bracknell Cllr Bob Edger’s chosen charity this year is Childline, which offers help and advice to thousands of children and young people needing support over issues such as bullying, health and family breakdown.

Cllr Edger, who will be at The Meadows with collection buckets on both days between 10am and 4pm, said: "I’m very grateful to all the people who give so generously. I know many people are very hard-pressed financially at the moment but Childline does such fantastic work that it deserves our help.

"I’m also very grateful to all the pupils who sing so wonderfully. They work very hard to add a festive note to the occasion."
