Shropshire Rock Choir members took on a marathon 12-hour charity sing-a-thon to raise funds for Shrewsbury Food Hub, Telford Crisis Support and Bridgnorth Food Bank.

The event took place at St Alkmund’s Church in Shrewsbury and choir leader Rowan Richards said: "We are thrilled to raise just under £3,000.

"It was a fantastic day, blessed with brilliant weather, and it felt like a community event, which is exactly what we wanted."
