If you have ever thought 'I want to join a choir near me in Cardiff?' then why not join your local Rock Choir. The Cardiff Rock Choir is led by local musician Paul Mansford. Rock Choir is unequalled in the opportunities we can offer our members - from performing at top music and arts venues like the O2 Arena and Eurodisney to raising money for some of the UKs best-loved charities such as Comic Relief,Sign2Sing and Missing People. Appearing on national television and singing with celebrities like Deborah Stevens has been exciting and exhilarating, but Rock Choir members still know the importance of supporting our local community causes and events! Joining a choir can be a brave step to take for some and in light of this Paul tries to make it as easy as possible for you by giving the opportunity to have a FREE taster session and then to have a chat with him about singing. Rock Choir is the leading group in community singing. We launched our FREE choir taster sessions back in 2005 and have 20 years experience giving members of the public who are new to group singing the chance to try joining a choir without the need to audition or read music. Here is a quote about our choir - 'It is what gets me through the week. Rock Choir is real and should be available on the NHS.' - Sue (Rock Choir Member) Rock Choir is a winner of the Red Ribbon 'Big Heart' Award [https://rockchoir.com/awards-achievements/]. and holds 1 former and 2 current Guinness World Records. The choir is also credited with single handedly starting the contemporary choir movement.

FROM THE FRONT LINE TO THE HIGH STREET Two powerful stories of service come to Woking Residents across Surrey are being invited to a compelling Saturday morning event in Woking this June, bringing together frontline military experience and frontline community care - all in support of a vital local charity, Woking Street Angels. Hosted by the Guildford & District Knights of St Columba, the event takes place on Wednesday 10 June 2026 (7pm-8.15pm) at St Dunstans RC Church, Woking GU22 7DT and offers two high quality talks for just 5. From battlefield decisions to human stories The evening opens with Colonel Graham Jones (Retd), Late REME, presenting Confessions of an Army Officer. Drawing on decades of service, Colonel Jones shares first hand accounts of leadership under pressure, life close to the front line, and the realities behind military command. His stories are not only informative but often unexpectedly humorous and deeply human, shaped by both professional experience and personal faith. The night time mission on Wokings streets The second talk shifts focus much closer to home but no less urgent. Mark Potter of Woking Street Angels will reveal the quiet, essential work taking place on the streets of Woking late at night, when most people are safely at home. Woking Street Angels is part of a nationwide Christian network responding to the growing challenges of the night time economy. Their volunteers head out in teams on weekend evenings, offering: Practical help- from flip flops for those struggling in high heels to water, blankets and basic first aid A calming presencein situations where tensions are rising Support for vulnerable individuals, including those who are intoxicated, distressed or at risk Safe listening and reassurancefor people who simply need someone to help them get home safely Working closely with local police, ambulance services and door staff, Street Angels often act as a bridge between emergency services and the public, preventing situations from escalating and reducing pressure on frontline services. What makes their work distinctive is not just what they do, but how they do it - quietly, compassionately, and without judgement. An evening with real impact This is more than a pair of interesting talks. It is a chance to hear two very different but deeply connected forms of service - one shaped in conflict overseas, the other lived out week after week on the streets of a Surrey town. With tickets priced at just 5 per person, the event is deliberately accessible, and proceeds will go directly to support Woking Street Angels. In a world where much good work goes unseen, this event offers a rare opportunity tohear, understand and support it. All are warmly welcome.
