St Wulfram's, Grantham
Inclusive Hymn Project
The Parish Choir kindly recorded our first four hymns. This work was supported by private donation and funds raised by MoV.
St Wulfram's PCC supported the project by allowing the free use of the church, and the chaperones and technical support staff gave their time on the basis that the choir fee for the filming day would help subsidise the choristers’ summer residency in Ely Cathedral that year, helping them to make it accessible to all choristers, from all socio-economic backgrounds and home situations.
Further information about each hymn can be found in the YouTube links.
