    Walthamstow Trades Hall Community Panto - Rapunzel

    Panto season is back!

    Oh, no it isn't!

    Oh, yes it is!

    Walthamstow Trades Hall Community Panto's performance of RAPunzel is festive fun for all the family!

    Other Theresa’s dynamically re-imagined version of the Brothers Grimm tale is alive and kicking with spoken word and rap.

    You’ll be in for a toe-tapping, thigh-slapping rollercoaster of a ride, with a dazzling cast of local talent drawn from open auditions (including WFCC's very own Norman Minter) and there’ll be plenty of opportunities for you to play a part!

  • Life After Cancer Update

  •  Date Posted: Sun, 12 Jul 2020
    We have recently received the following email from Steph at Life After Cancer.

    Thanks to your choir, I'm running the Life after Cancer programme online. It’s free (thanks to you all), will run weekly for 6 weeks from 2/June. There’s been lots of interest + there are 2 spaces left.

    The programme will help adults to fulfil their potential after cancer by dealing early on with some of the issues that may have arisen from their diagnosis. I will encourage them to trust their whole self and to support them to live in a way that is in line with who they are after cancer. The support they receive reduces the risk of serious mental distress and helps them to build a positive life after their cancer experience. 


    A big thank you to all our members and supporters who have made this happen.
