Choir hits right notes at fundraising concert
The Sing Your Heart Out event at the Retirement Living development on Newby Farm Road was one of a series of musical performances which are taking place up and down the country to raise funds for the older people’s charity.
In 1977, McCarthy and Stone opened its first retirement development, paving the way for the creation of an entirely new sector of the property market. To honour this milestone, the firm has partnered with Royal Voluntary Service with the aim of raising more than £130,000.
