Ring in the festive season and join us for a very special event!
On Wednesday, 2nd December, at 6pm, Elizabeth’s Legacy of Hope is hosting a Carol Service at St Margaret’s Church, Westminster Abbey. St Margaret’s is right in the heart of Westminster, opposite the Houses of Parliament. The Carol Service will end at 7pm.
Elizabeth’s Legacy of Hope supports child amputees in less developed countries and provides them with prosthetic limbs, life-saving surgery and access to education.
This Carol Service will be a time to raise awareness of our work, an opportunity to thank our supporters – and celebrate the beginning of Advent.
The evening will feature a selection of Christmas Carols performed by the choir of St Margaret’s, a very special solo, and Readings by Joanna Lumley, Sir Nicholas Soames MP, Lance Corporal Pienaar (3rd Battalion, the Parachute Regiment), Tom Dannatt from our partner charity Street Child, and a Senior Government Minister.
We would love to see as many of our supporters and friends as possible, and welcome many new faces. It will be a wonderful occasion to get into the spirit of Christmas, to hear beautiful carols, and meet people with a shared passion for our charity. So please, do join us and bring your friends and family!
Sarah Hope, co-founder of Elizabeth’s Legacy of Hope, says: “We are absolutely delighted to be hosting this fabulous Carol Service in such a special location. The Christmas season is a fitting time to think of those less fortunate than ourselves. Without our help, these children face a life of isolation and loneliness, often deemed unworthy of an education. With your help, Elizabeth’s Legacy of Hope will be able to give child amputees life-saving surgery, limbs and rehabilitation, to put smiles on their faces, and enable them to not just walk, but to dance, run and jump – just like Pollyanna. Therefore, any money raised during this Carol Service will make a huge difference to the children we help.”
Tickets are free, but our work is only possible thanks to the generosity of our supporters – wonderful people like you!
Any money raised through donations will go directly towards our crucial work to support child amputees in Sierra Leone, Liberia and India. Please email tickets@elizabethslegacyofhope.org to let us know how many tickets you would like and we will email them to you. If you are booking tickets for larger groups and would like to ensure that you can sit together, please let us know.
Each donation will make a real difference for the children we support. For as little as £70 an amputee child can get a prosthetic leg and the chance to walk again. It’s an amazing gift that is truly life changing.
We are immensely grateful for the generous support of our sponsor PLMR – Political Lobbying and Media Relations.
PLMR is an award-winning communications agency that has supported ELoH since its launch and works with a range of charities and companies in the UK and beyond to help them to ensure their voice is heard. Thank you very much!
We look forward to celebrating with you on the 2nd of December!
