• Dawn Thomas Wallace (Gospel Singer)

  Dawn has been a respected figure in the British gospel scene since the ’80s when she fronted the Trumpets Of Zion. She has a biography as long as her arm that chronicles her numerous awards and TV appearances.

• Alice Watts(singer, songwriter, musician)

  Alice recently played at the 2012 Olympics. She’s a folk-influenced singer-songwriter, who introduces a beatboxer as a replacement for drums in her acoustic performances. Alice’s style is a fusion of indie, soul, and folk music… and more.

This Christmas why not spread some festive cheer and help us to support families in Westminster.

We have a host of activities going on in early December which we’d love you to be involved with. If you can spare just an hour or so of your time you could help us raise over £10,000 to continue to support families in need.

Carol Singing and Collections

We will be singing our hearts out at various underground stations and other venues in the Westminster area. Do you sing in a group, choir or just have a few friends who are feeling festive? We’d love to hear from you, however young or old, and no auditions necessary, it’s all about the goodwill rather than the X-Factor! If you’re not feeling vocal, perhaps you could help us with some collections?

We have morning (7.30am – 9.30am) and evening (4.30pm – 6.30pm) slots available on the following days, just email us at admin@befriendafamily.co.uk and let us know which ones would suit you and we’ll be back in touch:

Tuesday 4^th December, Wednesday 5^th December, Thursday 6^th December and Friday 7^th December.

If you’re part of a church and already have a carol service planned, why not suggest a collection in aid of Westminster Befriend a Family? We can supply you with information about the charity to support your collection.

With all of the above you would be supporting us in our work to help more and more vulnerable families in Westminster.  We would work with you to ensure that your contribution is recognised and communicated to our supporters.
