Another Fundraising Opera Success!

Diva Opera at Monkton Combe School to support The MASIC Foundation on Thursday 1st June 2023

Thanks to the team at Monkton Combe School who helped us host a fantastic fundraising Opera in the school chapel on the 1st June.

We welcomed 127 guests on a beautiful sunny afternoon for fizz and canapes in the Quad, before the music and drama generated by the unique Diva Opera left us spellbound.

Thanks to amazing sponsorship as well as some generous donations, we were able to donate £3k to Monkton Bursaries and £27k to The MASIC Foundation.

Huge thanks to all our attendees and supporters. Kindly sponsored by KeighleyColo, Hugh James, Leigh Day, Irwin Mitchell, Clarke Willmott, Moore Barlow and RWK Goodman.
