Last evening’s Suffolk Together at Christmas, HRH The Princess of Wales` Carol Service for the East of England at @stedscath was nothing short of magical - a heartfelt celebration of the incredible charities across our county who work tirelessly to support the most vulnerable in our communities. 💜

Highlights of the service included moving charity case studies beautifully read by school children, uplifting performances from the choir and gospel singers from @soulsanctuarygospelchoir and a Christmas poem written and read by Charlie Haylock.

It was more than just carols — it was a reminder of the power of community, compassion, and coming together to make a difference. 🎄✨

The evening would not have been possible without the support of our incredible sponsors, thank you to: @lifeathalo, Associated British Ports, @ashtonslegal, Barnes Construction, @birkettsllp , @coastlinegraphics, Debach, Edmundham Developments , @elvedenestate , @eustonfarm, Greene & Greene, @hobbycrafthq
@icelandcharity @johngrose , @scruttonbland @skinnersfieldandtrial, Troston Farms Ltd, @wtwcorporate and Gina Long.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, sang with us, and supported us. Your voices and your kindness truly lit up the night. 💫
