Invicta Voices

Invicta Voices are one of London’s leading a cappella chamber choirs. Originally formed primarily from University of Kent alumni choral scholars, the choir have established themselves as a versatile and high-quality group. They perform a vast array of vocal music, ranging from traditional choral polyphony to European premieres of new music by leading contemporary composers.

The singers come from all walks of life, including; teachers, musicians, lawyers, consultants and TV producers to name just a few. Since Invicta’s inception in 2014, they have performed at many prestigious venues across London including The House of Lords, The Gresham Centre, St James’s Piccadilly and Kings Place as well as performing on tour in Germany and at Canterbury Cathedral.After virtual rehearsals took place throughout the pandemic, the choir were reunited at St Peter’s Eaton Square in September 2021, where they performed Puccini’s Messa di Gloria as well as a number of acapella choral works.

Invicta Voices is proudly affiliated to the Eureka! Foundation.

St Barnabas House

St Barnabas House is the adult hospice for the Worthing, Adur and Arun area. We provide specialist palliative care to adults with life-limiting illnesses, both within the hospice and in the comfort of patients’ homes.

2,000 volunteers to help deliver the service, giving their time to help in the hospice itself or raise vital funds at our charity shops or at fundraising events.

The cost of providing all care services at St Barnabas House is over £9 million a year, with only 24% of this coming from central government. This means we are reliant on the generosity of the local community to allow us to keep offering care to local people.
