Choral Classics performance will support PYCP

Thanks to Jubilo for supporting PYCP and inviting us along to help raise money and providing refreshments to the Choral Classics These Things Shall Be at St Cuthbert’s Church on Lothian Road this Saturday 4th May (writes Pilton Youth & Children’s Project’s Debbie McMillan).

Jubilo Choir have supported us throughout the year with their events and have raised over £2000 for our children and young people at Pilton Youth & Children’s Project.

Thank you to Muriel for meeting us at St Cuthberts and helping us plan our trip to the church; also a big thank you to all the team at St Cuthberts for making room for all our refreshments on the night.

We hope you have a fantastic evening and I wish I could have been there on the night.
