Christopher has donated over £800 to Brighton Gay Men’s Chorus from his winnings after appearing on Channel 4′s Million Pound Drop starring Davina McCall.

Christopher said: “The Chorus is wonderful charity that does a lot of really positive work in bringing people together and also raises thousands of pounds for many other local organisations. I wanted to include it as one of my charities because I know that the boys work really hard all year to make sure they can support their local community as much as they can, so by helping the boys to continue what they do is a bit like the ‘gift that keeps on giving’.”

Adam Betteridge, a trustee for Brighton Gay Men’s Chorus, added: “We are really grateful to Chris for his very kind donation and support. Brighton Gay Men’s Chorus is a registered charity providing crucial support to our members as well as the wider community through our performances and fundraising activities. We rely very much on the generosity of our fans through donations such as to ensure we can continue doing everything that we do.”

Brighton Gay Men’s Chorus is holding a special welcome evening for any gay or gay-friendly men who enjoy singing and may be thinking of joining on Tuesday, September 2 at 7.30pm in Brighton Unitarian Church on New Road. It’s the perfect opportunity to taste the delights of singing in a choir so please do go along!

Their next performances include An Audience With Brighton Gay Men’s Chorus on Friday, September 26 at St Nicholas Church, Dyke Road and a new format winter show called Putting On The Glitz at the Theatre Royal, New Road on Sunday, November 30 at 7.30pm.
