After 12 years of leading our favourite choir, Tracy is retiring as Director of the CCC.
This being the last concert, we are encouraging everyone who has been involved past and present to support this final fund raiser – over £25,000 has been accumulated for local & national Charities over the years.
Tickets only £10, available on the door on the night – hopefully see you there 😊

Looking for a unique and sustainable Christmas tree?
Our Rutland Men & Women in Sheds members lovingly craft wonderful wooden trees made to order and they have been a hit with many local business & residents for the last few years.
Made from repurposed pallet wood, they can be made in varying styles and sizes and are a great alternative to a real Christmas tree.
All proceeds from the sale of the trees directly benefit the Shed which provides a safe place for individual pursuits and community projects for local older people
To order please email our Rutland Shed:- rutlandshed@ageukleics.org.uk
