They will build a 45 metre suspension bridge for 6,000 people facing rural isolation. The people living in Uwacyeza and Muganza cannot cross the Giwsi River for 120 days during the year. When the river floods, local farmers can’t travel to the market to sell their goods, students can’t attend school, and the health clinic is inaccessible. Over the past three years, three people have died attempting to cross the river. The community urgently needs a bridge in order to have safe, year-round access on both sides of the river.We are looking to raise £15,000 to cover flights, accommodation, food and vaccinations for our group of civil engineers:Philip CrossettKatherine DevlinCiara DohertyGary DonnellyClaire HughesRab LavertyMatthew LoweEugene McFeelyMartin McGuinnessLynsey McNeillyThe group will fly to Rwanda this May and spend two weeks constructing the bridge from start to finish.

From the first performance in Britain of Bach’s Mass in B minor to the soundtrack for Ridley Scott’s 2012 epic Prometheus, our musical heritage is as rich as it is diverse.Directed by David Hill, one of the country’s most eminent conductors, we regularly perform and record across London and the UK in prestigious venues, from the Royal Albert Hall to Abbey Road Studios. A unique collective voiceDescribed by the London Evening Standard as ‘probably the finest independent choir in the world’, we value the freedom that our independence brings, allowing us to work with the very best conductors, orchestras, and soloists, and to choose the music we perform. To date we have sung over 200 works in more than 80 venues, and continue to share our work with audiences around the world. A distinctive, challenging repertoireFrom oratorio to film scores and from St Paul’s Cathedral to Sydney Opera House, our repertoire – which covers works from the 16th century to the present day – celebrates the power that music has to connect us, to take us beyond ourselves, and to spark our imagination. Our work has an emotional intensity that only a large choir can evoke and in 2012 we invited a host of younger voices to join us. Our performance of Bob Chilcott’s The Angry Planet at the BBC Proms saw over 250 school children singing as part of our sixth world premiere since 2001. A list of notable namesIt is our people who define us. Sir Charles Villiers Stanford, Ralph Vaughan Williams, Sir David Willcocks: these are just a few of the eminent musicians that have played a part in our history and created the musical pedigree that we build upon today.

(UK, XR35309) Browse eventsTEMPLE CHURCH ORGAN FUND. You will see that we are appealing for a major sum (£750,000) for essential works to the Organ. The Organ is a mammoth instrument containing around 3,500 wooden and metal pipes, ranging from 32ft in length to just a few inches. Over time, wood warps, leather perishes and electrical wiring deteriorates dangerously. Metal buckles, dirt falls into pipes, and all of the organ’s thousands of intricate parts, often not accessible on a regular visit, have to be checked and repaired or renewed. Over 50 years since its installation, the majestic organ of the Temple Church now needs this once in a generation overhaul. We hope that through the generosity of those who have attended and loved the Temple Church and its music, future generations will also benefit from and enjoy this remarkable instrument. DUNWICH DYNAMO CYCLE RIDE: London Fields to Dunwich (120 miles) overnight on 30th June/1 July 2012. Click here > to support us. Several choir parents, staff and our friends, have decided to do their bit for the organ appeal. It's an instrument we have all enjoyed, so it seems appropriate to be part of the effort to secure its future for those to come. We'll be cycling overnight this June 30th, from London Fields to Dunwich on the Suffolk Coast, taking part in London's greatest mass participation ride - the Dunwich Dynamo. This is 120 miles of cycling which attracts 500 or so participants each year. We're currently putting together some fundraising targets, building these around the idea of our adopting one (or more!) of the 64 stops. (Each stop consisting of several of the 3,742 pipes which are now being so beautifully overhauled (at an average cost of £215 per pipe)). We won't of course, fill the fundraising gap by ourselves. But we will have made a contribution, and will perhaps encourage others who have and continue to enjoy the organ, to reach further in to their pockets. So do help by digging deep and supporting us.
