About the Choir
There has been a tradition of choral singing in Kenfig Hill going back as far as the late 1800s, and from these singers, Kenfig Hill Male Voice Choir was originally formed. During this time, the choir performed throughout Wales and won numerous prestigious competitions; however, due to a lack of interest, the choir disbanded in 1949. Then, in 1971, Kenfig Hill Male Voice Choir was reformed by 18 singers. Today, the choir has over 60 choristers and is going strong.
Kenfig Hill Male Voice Choir is internationally renowned and has performed throughout Europe and North America, including Norway, Germany, France, Poland, Italy, Ireland, Estonia, Jersey and two visits to Canada. The Choir has also performed throughout the UK in prestigious venues such as The Royal Albert Hall, Birmingham Symphony Hall, De Monfort Hall, Leicester, The Millennium Centre and St David’s Hall, both in Cardiff. The Choir has also performed at some notable religious venues, York Minster, Bradford Cathedral, Selby Abbey, Doncaster Minster, Llandaff Cathedral, and St Patrick’s Cathedral, Dublin. They have also sung at three political parliament buildings, the Palace of Westminster, The Senedd and the European Government Building in Strasbourg.Kenfig Hill Male Voice Choir is a non-profit registered Charity all monies received by the choir go to help with the running costs of the choir, e.g. uniforms, equipment, practice room hire and administration.
About the Charities
Les Amis
Founded in 1975, Les Amis’ mission is to empower people with learning disabilities such as Down’s Syndrome and associated conditions, like autism, cerebral-palsy and more. Les Amis today supports around 100 adult Islanders at any one time via three services to suit a variety of complex, evolving needs: residential homes, domiciliary (support for those living independently) and respite (24-hour ‘home’ away from home). Our mission is to ensure the right support is provided at the right time and to encourage adults with learning disabilities to live their lives to their fullest potential.
Autism Jersey
Established in 2005 by a group of dedicated and committed parents, Autism Jersey is now the leading charity in Jersey dedicated to the assistance and support of autistic people and their families.
Our mission is to enable people on the autism spectrum to achieve their potential by advocating for an inclusive community and providing personalised services to individuals, families and carers.
