A bit more about us..
It was a desire to create something in Didcot which would pull people together, be welcoming to anyone regardless of faith or lack of it, age, race, ability or disability, and serve the local community which led to the formation of the Didcot Community Gospel Choir in 2009. Brainchild of Fr Edward Carter and Sarah Tenant-Flowers , the choir undertook its first public engagement in February 2010 at the Cornerstone. Since then, the choir has gone on to raise several thousand pounds for both local and international charities.
