Carols for Charity 2025

After raising over £24,000 at Carols for Charity 2023 in Chelsea, we’re back — this time in Edinburgh! Join us for another magical evening of 9 lessons and 9 carols at St John on Wednesday 17th December. We’re proud to support two incredible charities this year: The Country Food Trust This national charity fights food poverty by providing high-protein, ready-to-eat meals to those in need. They’ve already delivered over 6.5 million meals through food banks and community kitchens. 👉 www.thecountryfoodtrust.org Held in Our Hearts A Scottish charity offering bereavement counselling and peer support to families who have lost a baby. With over 40 years of experience, they provide a vital lifeline to grieving families. 👉 www.heldinourhearts.org.uk This year’s service will take place at St Johns Church in the heart of Edinburgh on the evening of Wednesday 17th December 2025. We will be fundraising in support of two outstanding charities: Held in Our Hearts and The Country Food Trust. I hope it will also provide an opportunity for the great and good from all over Scotland to come together for a very special evening. The service will follow the cherished tradition of Nine Lessons and Carols and will be held in loving memory of my nephew, Zander Holland, who was stillborn at full term in May 2022. This event is deeply personal to me, and I hope it will bring both comfort and hope to others. We’ll host a festive drinks reception (which is included in the ticket) with mince pies and wine – a relaxed and informal chance to catch up with clients, friends, and fellow professionals. We’ll also hold a live auction to raise additional funds - do get in touch if you have any auction prize you wish to donate. Children are very welcome, tickets for under 18s are free, we just ask for a donation which can be done here or on the night. Full event details coming soon — save the date!
