Every December, for the past 70 years, Bath Bach Choir has entertained locals and visitors to Bath with its three-night run of Christmas music concerts, known as Carols by Candlelight. Performed in the beautiful Regency Pump Room, the concerts attract a full audience to celebrate the true start of Christmas in Bath. Each year, the choir chooses two charities to support, and a collection is made at the end of each evening. Members of the choir can nominate charities, which can be local, national or international.
In 2016 Young Carers Development Trust was nominated by choir member Richard Garforth who put forward a compelling case for its inclusion. There were eight nominated charities – all highly deserving – but after a long and detailed committee discussion it was decided that YCDT would be one of the two choices. Bach Bach Choir is delighted, therefore, to be making a donation of £540 and wishes YCDT well with its ongoing work in and around Bath
