Travellers passing through Reading Station on Wednesday lunchtime were treated to a heart-warming performance this week as Lower III pupils lifted spirits with a joyful round of Christmas carols. Their voices filled the busy concourse, bringing festive cheer to commuters while raising money for the Royal Berkshire Hospital Charity Christmas Appeal.

The appeal aims to raise £50,000 in support of elderly care at the Royal Berkshire Hospital, ensuring patients receive comfort and dignity during the winter season and beyond.


Adding to the excitement, the children were joined by Frankie the Fundraising Fox, the charity’s brand-new mascot. Frankie delighted the crowd, dancing along to the carols and encouraging donations with his infectious energy.
The event not only showcased the talent and enthusiasm of Lower III but also highlighted the community’s commitment to supporting local healthcare. With every note sung and every coin donated, the children helped bring the charity closer to its ambitious goal.
