For 2019, Torpoint Lady Singers chose the Cornwall Air Ambulance as their dedicated charity. After 12 months of fundraising, with concerts, coffee mornings and a summer six-hour sing-along, the ladies presented a cheque for £1,720 to Air Ambulance volunteer Martin Hagues (below). Martin attended the ladies practice evening and gave them a short talk on the service and the new air ambulances coming to Cornwall in 2020.

In February, the ladies paid a visit to the Cornish site of Childrens Hospice South West to see the wonderful work carried out by the charity. They used the visit as an opportunity to present a cheque for £625 following their fundraising efforts at the end of 2018.
