WILLING Spirit Gospel Choir provided the music at a fundraising event for Noah's Ark Trust.

The Birmingham-based choir provided a repertoire ranging from Caribbean and gospel music through to traditional carols at the event, at Earls Croome Church.

More than 50 guests attended on Saturday. The host was the Countess of Coventry, founding trustee and director of the Noah's Ark Trust, which helps bereaved children and their families in Worcestershire.

Although the final figure is yet to be confirmed, the trust expects to raise more than £1,400 through the event.

Mary Irish, community fundraiser, said: "The Noah's Ark Trust is very grateful to the choir who proffered their services free of charge to help fund the grief support service for young people in Worcestershire."
