Local choirs unite to raise over £12,500 for Forest Holme Hospice

Forest Holme Hospice is delighted to celebrate the fundraising efforts of Tim’s Singers, who chose the Poole-based hospice as their Charity of the Year in 2025.

Led by Poole-based choir leader Tim Dowland, known for his work on BBC’s The Voice, Tim’s Singers brings together the vocal talents of local choirs, the Citrus Singers, Sing & Grin Choir, Balance Choir, and Academy Junior Singers.

Throughout 2025, the choirs raised £10,299.57, bringing their overall fundraising total to £12,554.91 in support of hospice care for local patients, families and carers.

Funds were raised through a variety of creative and inclusive activities, including The Big Sing Church Tour and the release of a reimagined version of Coldplay’s All My Love, renamed All Our Love.

The choirs also supported Forest Holme through raffles, the sale of handcrafted items, and performances at the hospice’s annual Tie a Yellow Ribbon and Light Up a Life memorial events.

Kirsty Perks, Community and Corporate Fundraiser at Forest Holme Hospice Charity, said, “We would like to thank the singers, choir leaders and supporters for their generosity, time and continued encouragement of community connection through music. We look forward to continuing our partnership this year.”

Tim’s Singers have confirmed they will continue supporting Forest Holme Hospice into 2026, with new dates for The Big Sing Church Tour to be announced soon.
