Chaps Choir & The Growing Singers
Saturday 17th October, 7pm at Brewery Arts, Kendal

Join us for a joyful evening of music, laughter and glorious harmonies as London’s Chaps Choir joins Kendal’s own Growing Singers for a special fundraising concert in support of Growing Well.

Expect everything from familiar songs and pop re-workings to a ca****la harmonies, with plenty of humour and perhaps the occasional tear of joy along the way.

Founded in 2013, Chaps Choir is a London-based singing community known for its eclectic, uplifting repertoire and energetic performances. They have performed at major venues including the Royal Festival Hall, Roundhouse and Union Chapel, as well as on television and at Abbey Road.

The Growing Singers are the much-loved Kendal community choir, founded in 2023 by Claire Elleray Mee and Rachael Wadey. They combine well-known favourites with less familiar gems, bringing together harmony, great fun and a strong sense of community. They are also very good friends and long-standing supporters of Growing Well.

Tickets are £20 and available from the Brewery Arts Box Office or at https://www.breweryarts.co.uk/event/chaps-choir-and-the-growing-singers/

🎉 We'd like to give a BIG shout-out and thank you to Joanne & Connor!

🏔️ Having been involved and supported by our site at Egremont in West Cumbria, Joanne has decided to take on something BIG in 2026 and raise money for Growing Well. Along with her son, she is taking on the Spanish Three Peaks Trek. A journey to the summits of three of Spain's highest peaks - Veleta (3,394m), Pico de Loma Pelada (3,183m) and Mulhacen (3,482m) over three consecutive days in October.

🫶 She said: "I have benefited massively from the help Growing Well gave me last year. Volunteering with their wonderful team. I saw my mental health and wellbeing improve no end, and I learned lots of new skills in the process, and made some wonderful friends."

😊 Here are some of their training pics. They are self-financing the entire trip so all donations will go straight to our charity. If you are able to support them, you can give here: https://loom.ly/oxytuqg - every £1 makes a big difference!

This week we’re sharing James’ story.

🌱 James first came to Growing Well at Tebay Services after a difficult period had knocked his confidence. Through routine, outdoor work, practical tasks and a friendly, non-judgemental environment, he began to move forward.

“I think I’d lost confidence that I could do a regular job,” James says. “Growing Well helped prove to me that I could.”

👣 James is now working at Tebay Services Northbound and earlier this year took part in their Miles for Minds Walk, raising awareness and money for Growing Well, because he wanted to give something back.
