Requiem To Cancer

Apply to participate in Requiem to cancer 2025

Update : 02 March 2025 - WE ARE OPEN FOR REGISTRATION!

The target of raising £100,000 for Cancer Research UK was achieved after the third event in London in 2022 and we cannot thank you enough for your fantastic support, contributions, singing and donations in helping us reach that fabulous goal. One of Simon's ambitions was to see the event run elsewhere and not remain entirely London-centric. So, this year, we will be holding the fourth such event in Cardiff - in the City United Reformed Church (City URC) to be precise! Driving this forward will be Nicki Rose, who was one of the wonderful accompanists at the last event in London in 2022, with Ruth, Neil and Michael in the background assisting with all the planning and logistics.

Thank you all so much.

Ruth, Nicki, Michael & Neil

Amount raised:
2016 : £31,450

2022 : £35,130 (+ £4,500 Gift Aid)
Total : £103,830 (+ £4,500 Gift Aid)

Simon Wood, the creator of Requiem to Cancer, died peacefully at home at the end of July 2019. He had been fighting cancer for several years as it progressed through his body, ending up with having brain surgery. He was a gentle giant of the tenor line, a quiet and shy man who just loved to sing. Sadly the last year or so had robbed him of being able to participate in most events.
