Ealing Choral Society is delighted to support Read Easy Ealing at our 2023 Charity Christmas Carol Concert.

Our annual carol concert, the musical highlight of the Christmas season for many people in the borough, raises money for a local charity, and this year we are pleased to support Read Easy Ealing, a local charity which offers free one-to-one reading lessons to adults who have struggled to learn to read.

It is estimated that 6 percent of Ealing borough’s population cannot read, a disadvantage that has wide-reaching implications: non-readers are five times more likely to be unemployed, and poor understanding of basic health information is linked to higher mortality rates.

Read Easy Ealing pairs up specially trained volunteer coaches with non-readers for two sessions a week stretching for as long as the coaching is needed. Their work improves employment opportunities and the readers’ ability to support their own children and families better as well as to enjoy the pleasure of a good book.

There will be carols, seasonal readings, as well as refreshments (mince pies and drinks) following the concert.

This event is now SOLD OUT.  There may be some returns available on the door on the night.

You can still support this charity, even if you are unable to attend the concert – their JustGiving page is linked here:
