Fund hosts annual Christmas Concert at St Clement Danes

On Wednesday 10 December 2025, we welcomed guests to our annual Carol Concert at St Clement Danes Church, the Central Church of the Royal Air Force.

This year's service brought together uplifting performances from the London Show Choir and the Military Kids Choir, alongside traditional readings and much-loved Christmas carols.

We were honoured to be joined by the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal Harv Smyth, as well as long-standing Fund supporters, serving personnel, 282 (East Ham) Squadron, staff, and our Fund ambassadors.

St Clement Danes, re-consecrated in 1958 as a lasting memorial to all RAF personnel who have given their lives in service, remains a vibrant place of worship and reflection throughout the year. Known to many as the "oranges and lemons" church from the nursery rhyme, its bells still play the familiar tune daily.

Ellen Brooks, Head of Events at the Fund, said: "It was a pleasure to bring our community together for this year’s Carol Concert as a display of thanks to everyone who supports our work. The generosity of our supporters enables us to remain steadfast in our promise to be there for members of the RAF Family whenever they need us."

We extend our thanks to MBDA for their generous sponsorship of this year’s concert.
