Two supporters of the Wells Girl Chorister Trust are both embarking on sponsored pilgrimages of quite different kinds. Archdeacon Emeritus The Ven. Dick Acworth is embarking on a month-long pilgrimage of the ALL the Anglican Cathedrals of England using his Senior Citizen Bus Pass, while Robin Duys, an active member of the cathedral community, is setting off on a 487-mile walking pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela.

The Trustees of The Wells Cathedral Girl Chorister Trust are delighted to announce that HRH The Countess of Wessex has accepted an invitation to become the Royal Patron of the Trust with immediate effect.

The girls choir was formed in 1994 and its contribution to the music of the cathedral is constantly being praised. The Trust was established in 2002 to ensure that there is proper bursary provision for the eighteen girl choristers to match that already in place for the boy choristers

Tim Angel, alto Vicar Choral, has raised over £600 for the Girl Chorister Trust through running the Bath Half-Marathon. We would like to extend our congratulations and thanks to Tim.

Young bass Choral Scholar David Shipley decided to raise money for the Girl Chorister Trust through a sponsored hair-straightening event! The first of its kind at Wells Cathedra, David offered to straighten his curly locks much to the amusement of the Cathedral community. David's weekend's worth of gruelling hair-straightening was extremely successful and the Trust are very grateful to him for his efforts.
