Nothing says Christmas quite like the warm melody of Christmas carols, the sweet scent of minced pies, and the smooth, fruity taste of mulled wine. This December 17, come together with the rest of the Edinburgh community for Carols for Charity, a fundraiser for The Country Food Trust and Held in our Hearts. Enjoy an evening of beautiful singing, nostalgic reading, and exciting live auction at St John’s Church – all designed to bring joy and spread the message of hope to everyone. Funds raised will go to putting food on the table for folks struggling with food poverty and to providing baby loss counselling to families who lost their little ones. 

After raising £24,000 in Chelsea in 2023, this year Carols for Charity comes to Edinburgh. Both The Country Food Trust and Held in our Hearts are this year’s chosen charities.

Expect a magical evening of carols, readings, festive cheer, and community spirit – plus mince pies, mulled wine, and a live auction.

Every penny raised will make a real difference.
