Wood Street Community Choir sang Christmas carols in Taunton to raise over £200 for a local homelessness charity.

The choir entertained residents, shoppers, pub goers and residents of Netherclay Nursing Home.

The performance, in December, raised £278 for the Taunton Open Door charity.

It supports the homeless in the region, namely providing them warm meals.

Catherine Mowat, choir director, appreciated the community support, saying: "Thank you to everyone who donated to our Christmas charity this year."

She also urged more residents to get involved, adding: "We meet on Monday evenings at the Friends Meeting House in Bath Place.

"We welcome new members!"
