Story
The Choir of St Mary's, Enville are hoping to offer 6 junior scholarships for the next four years to children between the ages of 14 & 18. This will be a great way to engage local teenagers with the church and choral singing whilst offering them a huge opportunity to develop their skills and receive money to help fund their ongoing training.
Any donation will help our cause and we hope to establish an environment where we can nurture, discover and reward local talent for years to come.
