However, Covid-19 restrictions this year meant that it was not possible to gather together for the Christmas concert - but that did not stop Lesley!

The dedicated charity fundraiser has organised a virtual Christmas concert and carols event which will be streamed on Facebook and YouTube on Monday, December 14 at 7.30pm.

A range of contributors have performed carols, songs and Christmas readings in advance, which have been packaged into a film of around 45 minutes in length.

The socially distanced, pre-recorded event aims to raise money for The Lewy Body Society and the Foyle Hospice.
