The UK’s leading employment charity for disabled veterans, The Poppy Factory, will holding a one off magical evening of Christmas carols sung by the South London Military wives choir.

The ‘Carols at Christmas’ concert, taking place in St Mary’s Church in Twickenham on December 13, will be hosted by Jazz FM and BBC Radio’s Jamie Crick.

The evening will also include readings from Poppy Factory clients and supporters and will be followed by a festive reception of wine and mince pies.

The Poppy Factory’s chief executive, Deirdre Mills said: “Our carol concert is always a great opportunity for friends and family to come together and enjoy a festive evening.

“We are delighted to have the South London Military wives choir and Jamie Crick supporting our concert. It is the perfect event to get you into the Christmas spirit.”

The Poppy Factory is perhaps most famous for its remembrance products and it employs around 30 veterans and dependents with health challenges at the factory in Richmond where they help produce poppies for the Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal.

Anyone who buys a ticket for the concert will be helping to raise funds for The Poppy Factory’s life-changing employment support, helping to restore disabled veterans’ financial independence through sustainable and rewarding work.

Tickets cost £15 and include wine and mince pies, although under 16s are free. You can order tickets from: poppyfactory.org/carols or call 020 8939 1872.
