Paddock Wood Community Support – Sing Together
Sue Lovell & Chris Tampsett have written this uplifting song, inspired by lockdown, about coming together despite the isolation we find ourselves in. They invited friends, family, Paddock Wood residents and local school children to record themselves singing along to achieve a ‘virtual choir!’ Sales of the digital track will raise funds to help locals who need it during this time of uncertainty and inevitable hardship. Please donate as generously as you are able: https://www.paypal.me/PWCommunitySupport - Thank you!
