Drybrook & District Ladies Choir raise funds for charities each year and this year two very worthwhile causes, Hope Support Services, based in Ross-on-Wye, and the Forest of Dean Children’s Opportunity Centre, were the recipients of £500 each.

Hope supports young people when a close family member has a life threatening illness. The Children’s Opportunity Centre based in Coleford provides support to families that have a child from birth to seven years with a disability or special need, as well as being the only provider of fully inclusive pre school sessions where 50% of children attending have a disability and 50% do not.
