On Saturday the 1st of November, Gareth Churcher (Head of Service for CMST) was invited to the final concert of the Summer lunchtime recital series at King Charles Church in Falmouth. To his delight he was presented with a cheque for £1,700 which is a donation towards CMST's aims and ambitions. Mr Michael White, who presented the cheque, has organised the recital series for many years now and the concerts have gone from strength to strength. Each week performing musicians give their time for free and the retiring collections are given to a nominated charity. For the past 4 years this charity has been CMST, meaning that close to £8,000 pounds has been donated to support CMST's charitable objectives.
