High Peak Singers' end-of-term performance has helped raise £332.95 for Kinder Mountain Rescue Team.

The community choir’s end-of-term concert featured a varied selection of songs from the 16th century Din Dirin to Eric Whitacre’s Seal Lullaby, ending with Elton John’s The Circle of Life.  

They were supported by a wonderfully enthusiastic audience at St John’s Church, Buxton. 

Choir Founder Hannah Brine said: “I would like to thank everyone who attended for creating a wonderful atmosphere and the choir for producing such a brilliant sound. 

“We only formed a year ago, but feedback is so positive, and the choir has really established itself, through the hard work of its members. We all are pleased to support Kinder Mountain Rescue.” 

Kinder Mountain Rescue, in existence since 1971, is one of seven mountain rescue teams that operate within the Peak District National Park, as part of the Peak District Mountain Rescue Organisation (PDMRO). 

They are almost exclusively funded by public donations, and all proceeds from fundraising go towards equipment and resources used on their callouts.
