Join Mary’s Meals for an uplifting fundraising Christmas Choir Concert at the city’s St Mary’s Catholic Cathedral
This Christmas, Edinburgh residents can give the gift of hope to hungry children – by joining Mary’s Meals for a lively celebration of Christmas through song.
The event takes place on Wednesday, 17 December from 19:00 to 21:00, and will include a fantastic selection of joyous carols, uplifting music and inspirational songs, sung by Voices and Sister Sister – two local community choirs. Guests will also get to enjoy a mug of hot chocolate, a glass of mulled wine and mince pies.
Proceeds from the event go towards providing nutritious school meals for hungry children living in some of the world’s poorest communities. These meals attract children into the classroom where they can gain an education that can be their ladder out of poverty.
The Scotland-based charity reaches an incredible three million children every school day, across 16 countries – including Ethiopia, Haiti and Zimbabwe.
Tickets for the event start at £8 and can be secured by visiting:

Sally Davidson, Mary’s Meals Supporter Engagement Officer for East Scotland, says: “It costs just £19.15 to feed a child with Mary’s Meals for an entire school year – or just 10p a meal.
“Help us turn hunger into hope for children still waiting for our life-changing meals by joining us for a night of joy, connection, and purpose.”
Give hope this Christmas – and with Double The Love, your donation can go twice as far! From 10 November, all donations made to Mary’s Meals will be doubled by a group of generous supporters, up to £1.1 million.
The gift matching will end when we reach the £1.1 million pot. Together, through Double The Love, we can transform the lives of many more desperately hungry children waiting for Mary’s Meals.
