Firefighters to sing for charity…

Once again Lowestoft firefighters will be singing carols to raise funds for a local charity.

On Monday 21st December around 20 firefighters will be singing all your favourite Christmas carols and songs outside The Britten Centre in Lowestoft from 10am till midday.

And this year we are raising funds for a particularly worthwhile local cause – The Oscar Reynolds Fund.

Oscar was 2½ years old when diagnosed with a tumour in his stomach and went through intense chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Sadly he lost his battle just before his 5th birthday.

The fund was set up to help other families in similar situations who struggle to cope with financial difficulties when caring for a sick child. The fund is operated closely in conjunction with the medical advisers of the James Paget Hospital and Addenbrooks Hospital and assists those attending hospital with costs as described above.

So head into Lowestoft next Monday and take your mind off the Christmas shopping by being serenaded by the voices of angels – whoops, sorry… I meant to say take your mind off the Christmas shopping by being sung at by a bunch of enthusiastic if somewhat tuneless firefighters!

Any money you can give to help The Oscar Reynolds fund will be most gratefully received.

We look forward to seeing you there…
