We are delighted to announce that the Knipoch House Hotel has chosen the charity they wish to support during this year's festivities - and the charity is...🥁... Forget me not Choir
The Knipoch was keen to team up with the Oban Times to ask YOU for your nominations to select from.
Louise Curtis, founder of the charity, told us "We are absolutely blown away by this news and so delighted! Every penny raised helps to cover hall hire costs, transport costs and many other incidentals to keep the choir going, so a huge thank you to everyone that voted for us and to the Knipoch House Hotel for their very kind support".
Louise added "The big change the choir makes in people is improving their confidence and anxiety. They get the confidence to talk, sing and communicate. They’re rekindling with old friends or making new ones. It’s also about getting them out and about and just having a sing-song. The smiles on their faces just says it all."
Here's how the Knipoch will support the charity:
- They will donate £100 to kickstart the fundraising.
- 50% of the fee for a trade stall at the Knipoch Christmas Markets will be donated. This means £10 per stall per day. The market runs from 11am-5pm on the 22nd/23rd/29th and 30th November and the 6th/7th and 13th December.
- Fundraising buckets available to add to throughout the festive season!
Pop along, do some amazing Christmas shopping, enjoy festive fun, food and drink whilst supporting a great, local cause!
