KIND-hearted choir group members have left Primrose Hospice staff "overwhelmed" after donating £5,000 raised through a series of performances in 2016.

The choir raised the money from three public concerts as well as private performances last year.

Emma Williams, fundraising manager at the hospice, said: "The donation from Primrose Choir was simply overwhelming.

"We would like to say huge thank you to all the members of the choir for their continued dedication and support."

Primrose Choir, which began in 2000 and now has more than 50 members, raise thousands of pounds each year for the hospice, with the members giving their time and voices for free.
