Mitchell Group has raised nearly £4,000 for charity with its carol singing fundraising event at Chester Cathedral.

The business was joined by almost 1,200 customers and supported by its team of 107 colleagues.

The money was raised for Care for the Family, a UK wide charity which runs a programme which prompts dads to work closely on special life events with their children.

The business was joined by former Blue Peter and now Sky Sports presenter – Simon Thomas.

Thomas was joined by Lou Fellingham and her band who performed a range of traditional carols.

The evening drew to a close with a performance by spoken word poet Storm Cecile.

Mitchell Group said: “We are thankful to have once again shared a special evening with our customers and colleagues. The feedback from all who attended continues to be extremely encouraging.”
