Voices wanted

An established choir in West Moors is looking for new voices.

Gospel Voices, based at St Martin’s Church, has been performing since 2018.

Now, it is looking for fresh members ahead of performances this autumn and winter.

“There is no audition, and we start to rehearse on Thursday evenings from 7pm, starting on September 28.”

The choir is also looking for musicians. For details, visit urc-eastdorset.org. uk and click on the ‘Gospel Voices’ button, or email stm.gospelchoir@urceastdorset.org.uk.

Hospital charity shop on move

The Hospital Charity Shop is the only independent charity shop in Wimborne. Raising funds for the Friends of Victoria Hospital, it has been located in the town for more than 20 years.

It also functions as a base in town for supporters of the hospital, promotes our events and keeps us in touch with local residents. But now it is relocating to 69 High Street in the autumn.

It is a more spacious, modern shop with greater opportunities to browse and the friends say they would love to see people continuing to support the venture. Before leaving the existing shop, there will be a sale; watch out for more details.

The new shop will need good quality clothing so anyone with goods to donate, is asked to call the shop on 01202 848031 to arrange a time to visit.

Standard hours are Monday to Saturday, 10.00am-4.00pm.

If you have a few hours to spare each week, you could consider becoming a volunteer.
