Thrilled to be ‘Make A Difference’ finalists!

23 Oct 2025

We were beyond proud to be finalists in the BBC Make A Difference Awards in Suffolk last night.

Pop Chorus were highly commended in ‘The Fundraiser Award’ category, having raised £57K for local charities as part of 2024’s ‘Constellation’ year.

It was a genuine privilege to share a room with so many incredible local people who make such a difference to our Suffolk community – and congratulate Long Melford’s Project Seven on winning this year’s Fundraiser award.
