Age UK’s glittering Christmas Carol concert, Love Christmas, will be taking place at Cadogan Hall, London, on Thursday 8th December.

Hosted by TV’s Penny Smith, and with a star studded cast of celebrities, the yuletide celebrations will include seasonal readings from Dame Barbara Windsor DBE, Amanda Redman MBE, Charles Dance OBE and Miriam Margolyes OBE, along with musical performances from Heather Small, the voice of M People, soprano Laura Wright, the ACM Gospel Choir and the London Gay Men’s Chorus, and a selection of heart-warming traditional Christmas carols.

Money raised at Love Christmas will help Age UK make a crucial difference to the lives of older people. According to research by Age UK over a million people in the UK say they are lonely1. Age UK wants to combat this by providing companionship, advice and support for older people facing later life alone.
