Childline Christmas Concert

That’s where you will find the Childline Christmas Concert, which showcases a wealth of local talent.

The ideal way to kick off the festive season and spend time with friends and family, all money raised through the event will help fund the NSPCC’s Childline service which provides a safe, confidential place for children with no one else to turn to whenever they need help.

Taking part in Friday’s Christmas Concert will be Longstone Primary School Choir, Edinburgh Schools Bass Ensemble, Edinburgh Schools Rock Ensemble, St Augustine’s RC High School Baroque Ensemble, Leith Academy Wind Band and many more.

Hosted by Bailie Robert Aldridge, the concert will start at 6.30pm.

This year marks Childline’s 30th Birthday and by attending the Childline Christmas Concert you’ll be helping keep the service going for many more years to come

NSPCC community fundraising manager Nadia Whitmore says, “We are delighted to be involved with this fantastic Christmas concert once again.

“The school children from across Edinburgh have been rehearsing to put on an amazing show.

“We would like to thank all of the children and staff who have worked so hard to bring their performances to the people of Edinburgh.

“Funds raised from the concert will go towards the Childline service in Scotland, a vital service for children who have nowhere else to turn, we hope as many people as possible can come along to support this event.”

Children can contact Childline 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and thousands of children from across Scotland contact the free service each year via phone or online.
