Various Voices London 2009 needs your financial support to realise its ambitious artistic and community vision.

Our artistic partner, the Southbank Centre, is already providing significant support in-kind through the free use of its site over the four days of the event. We need to raise an additional £600,000 to make the festival happen.

Even though we expect about half of what we need from registration fees from choirs and individual singers and from the sale of tickets, programmes and merchandising, your help is vital!

By making a donation to Various Voices London 2009, you will make it possible for a fantastic LGBT event take London by storm at the beginning of May 2009. Over four days, choirs from all over Europe and North America will rehearse and work together — and perform in one of the world's greatest venues in front of an enthusiastic and diverse audience. With workshops and courses as well as performance opportunities, Various Voices London 2009 will be an exciting celebration of amateur choral singing.

In providing a prominent showcase for LGBT groups and cultures, we believe that we can change attitudes and promote the values of a genuinely multicultural and inclusive capital.

You can make a secure donation to Various Voices London 2009 through Charity Choice.
