The Story of Christmas Appeal 2011

Founded in 1978, The Story of Christmas is the leading charity carol service of the property industry and London corporate sector. Over the years the Story of Christmas Appeal has raised over £5 million for charities associated with children, young people and the homeless. Fundraising culminates in a spectacular event at the start of Christmastime in the form of a service of nine lessons and carols at St George's Hanover Square, followed by a Champagne Reception and charity auction for principal guests. Last year the event involved the Story of Christmas's President, Dame Judi Dench CH DBE, and Deputy President, Aled Jones, as well as a host of other distinguished readers including Daniel Craig, Benedict Cumberbatch, Ian Hislop, Geoffrey Palmer OBE, The Rt Hon Michael Portillo, Dan Stevens, June Whitfield CBE, and others.

Festive music is provided by the Choristers and Layclerks of Westminster Cathedral, the Band and Fanfare Trumpeters of the Irish Guards and special guest soloists in what is a truly magnificent start to the Christmas season.  

Attendance at the event is by invitation only and limited to major supporters of the Appeal. For information about supporting the Appeal, please contact the Artistic Director Marc Corbett-Weaver at info@socappeal.com
