Held at Stoke Damerel Church, the atmosphere was filled with the joyful sounds of Christmas, echoing through the sacred space and captivating an audience brimming with proud parents.

The Primrose Foundation Christmas Service, a cherished tradition for local communities, offered an opportunity for families and friends to come together and celebrate the true essence of the holiday season. Led by Father Keith Robus, the service was a delightful mixture of prayers, traditional Christmas carols, and meaningful readings from members of The Primrose Foundation.

One of the highlights of the evening was the performance by the choir members of Stoke Damerel Community College, known as the SDCC Singers. Their renditions of well-known Christmas favourites added an extra layer of magic to the event, creating an atmosphere of warmth and togetherness. Accompanied by organist Robin Tugwell, the musical ensemble created a symphony of joy that resonated with the festive spirit.

The service served as a poignant moment for reflection, providing an opportunity to give thanks and honour the memories of those who couldn't be present. Beyond the festivities, it was a time for the community to unite, expressing gratitude for the year that had passed and anticipating the promise of the year ahead.

As the SDCC Singers filled Stoke Damerel Church with their beautiful harmonies, it became a testament to the power of music and community coming together to celebrate the joyfulness of Christmas. The Primrose Foundation Christmas Service not only marked a special occasion for those in attendance but also showcased the ability of art and tradition to weave a tapestry of unity and festive spirit in the hearts of the community.
