Our brave police dogs will also be there alongside their specially-trained handlers, including demonstrations on live incident scenarios, drills from our police cadets, arena performances, children’s activities and, of course, food and drink stalls.

several of their favourite pieces to raise funds for Cancer Research UK.

During the last year in particular our group has been hit hard by cancer, with many
undergoing treatments. Sadly we lost one of our members to this disease, but
thankfully we’ve had some successful completions of treatment too. We wanted to
do something that would make a difference, but also raise the spirits of our
community, friends and family - so we are going to sing!

Tickets are available via our website www.phoenixsingersleek.co.uk, via any of our
choir members, Leek Post office, or Picture Book
