Sing for Water London
Event information
We're planning for this year's event to go ahead, and hope to make 2021 a year to celebrate. Choirs from all over the U.K will be rehearsing songs over the summer and coming together for one big performance in September.
Sing for Water started in 2002 as part of the annual Totally Thames festival. Each year 500 people from choirs across the UK join forces to perform in the Scoop, right next to the River Thames. The incredible atmosphere, electric crowd and picturesque location make it a day to remember.
Making a difference
As part of the event, choirs and individual singers commit to raising money for WaterAid. With the help of fantastic fundraisers, we've been able to reach some of the world’s poorest communities with clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene facilities.
In the last few years we've focused on our vital projects in Malawi – like bringing clean water to the remote village of Chiswe.
Before Chiswe had a source of clean water, children often fell sick with illnesses like diarrhoea caused by drinking dirty water. Or, they would have to sacrifice their time in school to go in search of cleaner sources.
Now, with a water kiosk in the village, the children here are healthier and happier, free to enjoy their time in class and playing with friends.
If you're joining or supporting Sing for Water this year, you can help us reach more communities like Chiswe by setting up a JustGiving fundraising page.
