NSPCC Carols By Candlelight will return for the first time to the beautiful surroundings of Blackburn Cathedral to celebrate this festive season on Wednesday 6th December. We are pleased to announce performances from The 2nd Rossendale Scout band, Local Vocals, Connected Voice’s choir and St Andrews primary school. Lancaster-born Graham Liver, who presents BBC Radio Lancashire’s breakfast show will compere the Carol concert.
We want to answer every call to our Childline service, reach every child who needs us, and keep adapting to whatever challenges this year throws at us. We’re constantly inspired by the courage and resilience of children and young people.
