Exciting news as the Rock Choir are back for another year with a charity single in aid of our Cash for Kids Mission Christmas appeal.

Rock Choir, the world’s largest contemporary choir, have released ‘What Christmas Means to Me’, originally made famous by Stevie Wonder. The single is available to buy here!

Award-winning vocalist and Creator of Rock Choir, Caroline Redman Lusher, is the soloist on this festive track, which also features The Rock Choir Vocal Group.

Also making a special guest appearance on the track are Tom and Kat from Magic Radio. Caroline and her team expertly rehearsed the song and routine in under an hour, before they recorded their vocals and filmed the accompanying music video. The recording session also featured Rock Choir Leaders from across the UK, who brought their energy and incredible personalities.

The single hopes to raise awareness and support for Cash for Kids Mission Christmas, which aims to make sure that no child goes without a gift at Christmas.

Also released on the same day as 'What Christmas Means to Me’, Rock Choir have released a heartfelt and deeply moving version of Leonard Cohen’s ‘Hallelujah’, featuring the magnificent voices of over 6,000 Rock Choir members from across the nation. Rock Choir will also be fundraising for Cash for Kids in December during their weekly choir rehearsals across the UK.

Caroline Redman Lusher opened up about how proud they are: "All of us at Rock Choir are incredibly proud to support Cash for Kids and their Mission Christmas appeal once again during the festive season. I hope that after watching our pop-video, people will feel inspired to donate to this very special charity and their important Mission Christmas. And we all know that the best way to spread Christmas cheer, is singing loud for all to hear!”

Lauren Baxter, Cash for Kids Partnership Manager, added: "We are thrilled to have been chosen again as the beneficiary of the Rock Choir's Christmas single! Rock Choir members from all over the UK are working tirelessly to raise as much as they can to ensure that no child goes without a gift on Christmas Day.

"In 2023, Cash for Kids Mission Christmas helped 290,604 children living in poverty, and with the help and support of wonderful organisations such as Rock Choir, we hope to make a difference to even more children this year. A huge thanks from all of us."
