St Peter & St James Hospice is delighted that local school choirs will join their much-loved flagship in memory walk, Shine Bright, in Lindfield on Saturday 4th October.
Over the coming months, participating schools will learn a unique song for Shine Bright, composed by local songwriter Jeff Topp, titled ‘You’re Not Alone’. The children will rehearse at school, and then perform together for the first time at the event.
Becky Stevens, Relationship Fundraising Manager at the Hospice, comments: “The Sing Along for Shine Bright Project brings something really special to this year’s event, involving our younger community. I am beyond grateful to the team who helped me: Jeff Topp for the composition, Gemma Hawkins and Mark Travers for their collaboration, and Simon Janes of Homeward Bound Recording Studios in Brighton. I have heard some of the amazing children practicing already, what a fitting way to mark the hospices’ 50th anniversary year!”
Jeff Topp, Songwriter of ‘You’re Not Alone’ adds: “It was an absolute pleasure to create this song for St Peter & St James Hospice. I wanted to create a song that was not only reflective and sensitive to the subject, but also upbeat and hopeful.”
