Ripon Proms concert to raise money for two charities
Two charities are set to benefit from a Last Night of the Proms concert being staged by the Rotary Club of Ripon at the city's Holy Trinity Church.
Ripon Community Link Walled Garden and Yorkshire Dales Motor Neurone Disease Support Group will share proceeds from the sale of tickets for the event being held on June 30.
The concert will feature soloist Jessa Liversidge, accompanied by Ripon City Band and include a performance by the community link Sing and Sign Choir.
Event organiser Wendy Richardson said:
The foundations are being put in place for the new development at Ripon Walled Garden
She added:
David Stubley, Rotary Club of Ripon's new president, who takes over the post at the end of June, lost his father to MND and this prompted him to choose Yorkshire Dales Motor Neurone Disease Support Group as one of his charities for 2023/24
There are at least six known sufferers of MND in Ripon alone and the club wants to help by contributing to the ever-growing research funds raised by rugby players Rob Burrows, Kevin Sinfield and the late Doddie Weir.
Tickets for the June 30 concert cost £14 and can be obtained by clicking here.
They can also be purchased from The Little Ripon Bookshop on Westgate and Stuff 4 Business on Fishergate.
