Members of the choir have now set their sights on reaching their £10,000 target with support from local communities.

Their fund-raising efforts have included releasing recordings of their live performances online.

The choir, which has grown to around 200 people, has been busy performing throughout the summer and is available for bookings in return for a donation to charity.
