On the anniversary of the Coronation of His Majesty The King we are delighted to share some exciting news about our Coronation Fund Appeal.
Inspired by the Coronation and the theme of inclusion, the Wells Cathedral Chorister Trust, with the support of our Patron HRH The Duchess of Edinburgh, has been running a two year Coronation Fund Appeal, which aims to raise £500,000 by September 2025 and can only be used to support Choristers whose families can contribute less than 5% of the required school fees, and in many cases need a full bursary. The Coronation Fund will enable bursary support of between 95%-100% to these Chorister families, and details of our Coronation Fund Appeal are on our website if you would like to learn more.
This is such an exciting project, and we are very close to completing the whole sum. A very generous donor has agreed to match fund any final contributions that we are able to raise, to ‘take us over the line’.
We are very grateful for the ongoing support we receive from our many regular contributors to the Chorister cause. We have also been pleased to receive many individual donations specifically for the Coronation Fund. All contributions are very gratefully received and if you would like to be involved then donations can be made via this form.
If you would like to talk to the Chair, Mr Arnold Wills, please contact him on chairman@wcct.co.uk.
The annual evensong for the Wells Cathedral Chorister Trust will be on Saturday 11 October 2025, when we will especially celebrate the completion of the Coronation Fund Appeal. Please put that in the diary.
