Frequently Asked Questions What’s the deadline to order at the reduced price? Make sure you get your t-shirt order in before 11.59pm on Friday 13th May 2022 to get the ‘Basic’ t-shirt at the reduced price of £7! Please place orders directly through our online store. I bought the t-shirt for the reduced price - how/when will I receive it? Firstly, thank you for ordering! Your choir leader will deliver your t-shirt to you at choir as soon as they are printed, so please expect them to arrive in choir in June 2022. How do I know I’ve got the right size t-shirt for me? Included in the photos of the t-shirt is a sizing guide. Please measure yourself carefully, and if you fall between sizes you may want to go for the bigger size. Please note that we do not accept returns on t-shirts, so please take extra special care. My t-shirt isn’t the right size, how do I return it? We’re sorry, but we do not accept returns on t-shirts. Why are the t-shirts £7 for a limited time only? For the first month, we have secured a deal that brings the upfront cost of a t-shirt right down to as low as we can possibly make them. As this is our first foray into merchandise, we anticipate that a large number of t-shirts and badges will be ordered, and one way of keeping this cost down for our choristers was to handle all sorting and distribution in-house. However, moving forward this is unsustainable for us as an organisation as we do not have the resources or appropriate space to sort and store these products. Therefore, after the first month we will move to a ‘print on demand’ service for t-shirts, which will be handled directly by a third party company called ‘My Needs Are Simple’ for a slightly increased price per garment. How will I get a t-shirt once the price has increased? We recommend taking advantage of this lower price while you can, but if you aren’t able to then you’ll still order t-shirts through our online store but you will receive them via the post. After the price increase your choir leader will no-longer be responsible for fulfilling your order, nor have any knowledge of or dealing with your merchandise orders. Do I have to buy a t-shirt? Not at all! However we would like everyone to have at least a pin badge as part of our gig attire. You are welcome to wear the pin badge with your own black t-shirt if you prefer (or you might want to have both!). If you don’t want either please speak to your choir leader. I’m not able to access the store, what should I do? If you’re having trouble accessing the online store, then please let your choir leader know. What about other merchandise like hoodies, v-neck t-shirts… etc.? Watch this space! In time, we’ll be adding lots more exciting products to our store, including multicoloured hoodies, different styles of t-shirts, and other paraphernalia! We’ll let you know as soon as we add anything so please make sure we’re not going to spam! What is ‘print on demand’? ‘Print on demand’ is exactly what it says on the tin: a company will only print when there is demand! This type of printing allows for much smaller quantities to be made, and the third-party company we will be working with will handle everything. Are Choirs For Good making profit on merchandise? Yes - however, Choirs For Good is making a negligible profit on both our basic t-shirts and our pin badges. As we are a social enterprise, any profit we do make is constitutionally obligated to be reinvested into our organisation. Who are ‘My Needs Are Simple’? ‘My Needs Are Simple’ are Welsh print on demand garment printers based outside of Cardiff in South Wales. They are committed to sustainability, ethical practises, and products that are eco-friendly. For more information, please visit: https://www.myneedsaresimple.co.uk GO TO SHOP

Gwlad! An Online Celebration of Wales Off the back of the success of our award winning ‘A Broadway Christmas’, our partners, The West End Of Wales Orchestra invited us to close their sensational concert ‘Gwlad - An Online Celebration Of Wales’. The concert was held on St David’s Day - 1st March 2021 - and featured an incredible line up including HRH the Prince of Wales, Rhod Gilbert, Lucie Jones, Only Men Aloud, Sir Bryn Terfyl and Katherine Jenkins to name but a few! Once more, we had singers join us from across the world, this time for an afternoon rehearsal in February 2021, where we taught the Welsh National Anthem in 4 part harmony. Choirs For Good joined the stellar line up to close the concert alongside West End superstar John Owen-Jones, (Les Miserables & The Phantom of The Opera ) and the fantastic West End Of Wales Orchestra. Mr Owen-Jones led us in a rousing rendition of ‘Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau’ the Welsh National Anthem - take a look below, we bet you’ll be singing along like you’re at the Rugby!

A Broadway Christmas ‘A Broadway Christmas’ has been our very first project and it’s fair to say, we couldn’t have wished for better! We had 2 goals in mind: firstly, to spread a little joy through singing; and also to give as many Arts professionals as we could the opportunity for paid work during what has been such a tough year. Over 4 virtual rehearsals in November 2020, we have had the privilege of working with over 150 singers (ranging from age 5 to 95!) from all across the world, enjoying some festive cheer and creating some community spirit in the way that only singing in a choir can! We have also been so lucky to work alongside some of the best in the industry - with our partners The ‘West End of Wales’ orchestra, we were able to pay over 30 professionals for their time, skill and expertise, ranging from musicians and orchestrators to audio and video engineers. For so many, the impact of COVID-19 has decimated their livelihoods and we are so proud to have assisted them in some small way. This project couldn’t have happened without the time, help, and dedication of so many people, and we are forever grateful to them all. A few weeks after the video was released we were delighted to hear the amazing news that we had won the David Taylor Classical Music Award for 'Best Virtual Project'.
