Emergency funding is essential to help provide for thousands of families in desperate need of food\, water\, shelter and medical care. \nBy joining us on our fishing day out this year\, you can help transform the lives of families in great need. Not to mention\, enjoy a magnificent day at Park Lake\, which is utterly beautiful – and ours for the day! The Duke of Northumberland’s private lake provides the perfect day out for the family\, or to entertain your clients – beginners and experience fisherman alike are welcome! \nThe secluded lake will be stocked with trout and if you have never tasted trout straight from the water to your plate then you have no idea how delicious it is.   Of course\, you will have to catch it first but we will provide people to help you! \nDelicious refreshments will be provided throughout the day. \n  \nTicket Options: \nFull Day tickets  (9.30am to dusk) @ £150 each (min. donation)  to include breakfast\, morning coffee & home made cakes\,  lunch with wine and beer\, and finally afternoon tea (more home made cakes!).  All drinks available throughout. \nAM session only  (9.30 am to 12:30pm\, including lunch) @ £85 each (min. donation) to include breakfast\, morning coffee & home made cakes and lunch with wine and beer.  All drinks available throughout. \nPM session only (12.30 pm lunch ’til dusk) @ 85 each (min. donation) to include lunch with wine and beer\, and afternoon tea with home made cakes.

There will be a small charge for any additional fish you wish to take home. \n“I hesitate to ask\, but if you would like to add something extra as an additional donation it would really help. Out of the headlines\, millions of families are displaced in Sudan\, the Rapid Support Force is using fire as a means of weaponry\, whole villages are being burnt to the ground. Children are on the brink of starvation. The situation is absolutely heart-breaking\, and we are desperate for support so we can help families survive and re-build their lives as soon as it is safe to do so. An extra donations would really help us cover our costs and save more children’s lives – they are desperate for emergency food.“ – Patricia Parker OBE Founder. \nN.B.

To date 4\,000 families with children aged five and under have received seeds to eat and to plant for crops – that is 24\,000 people we have helped so far. Yet we must think of the coming months\, not just of immediate needs. Please do put our Fly Fishing in your calendar and tell your friends – make a day of it!

Your presence at our concert will truly save lives! \nThe evening will feature the beautiful voices of the Junior and Senior Choirs of Queen’s Gate School singing your favourite Christmas Carols to get you in the holiday spirit!  We are delighted to welcome British Opera Soprano Bibi Heal\, accompanied by famous conductor/pianist Stephen Barlow along with renowned Irish Harpist Lesley Magee and world-class pianist Mitra Alice Tham. You will hear festive readings from our dear Patron\, The Lord Cope of Berkeley PC\, and the absolutely fabulous\, Dame Joanna Lumley DBE FRGS. And of course what would a Christmas Concert be without a Trumpet Fanfare?! Thames Fanfare Brass will once again raise the roof and entertain us with Christmas classics. Hundreds of candles will fill the Church as we close the evening and head out to the cozy courtyard to enjoy Mulled Wine and Mince Pies (included in your ticket!). \nWe look forward to seeing you for the most magical start to the Festive Season!  By attending the Kids for Kids Candlelit Christmas Concert with your family and friends you are helping transform the lives of children in remote villages of Darfur living in conditions of shocking deprivation. Clean water is not available – families drink surface water until it dries\, when they then have to walk miles to find a handpump. There is virtually no health care\, limited education\, and now children face starvation in what the UN says is the ‘worst humanitarian crisis in the world today’\, yet it is not in the news and no other organisation is helping. Children really need you\, need us\, right now. \nThe concert will begin at 7.00pm and will be followed by Mulled Wine & Mince Pies (included in your ticket). \nAdult tickets are £39.50 (min donation) and Child tickets (12 years and under) are £18 (minimum donation)!  The perfect way to start Christmas – Carols by Candlelight. \nBook your Tickets today for our Candlelit Christmas Concert on Thursday 4th December 2025 \nPlease email contact@kidsforkids.org.uk with any enquiries.\nDo read our report about the 2024 Concert to get excited for this year!! \nCancellation Policy: Please note we cannot give refunds for event tickets unless the event is cancelled by us. \nReach a Prestigious Audience by Sponsoring our Candlelit Christmas Concert!\nSponsorship opportunities include sponsoring the evening or having a stall at our event to connect with our wonderful audience just in time for Christmas! \nTaking out an advertisement in our Candlelit Christmas Concert Programme will not only enable Kids for Kids to help more children but\, because our Programme is far more than just a record of the night\, with messages from our Patrons\, interesting articles and editorial\, it is a valuable means to project your image as well. \nThe more costs we can cover\, the more funds raised will go directly to Darfur.
