The Watoto Children's Choir from Uganda, East Africa, will be performing at St George's Community Centre on Saturday, February 22, at 4pm.

The concert will feature music from their new album, Better Days—There Is Hope.

The choir is part of a Christ-centred ministry in Uganda, which aims to help orphaned and abandoned African children rise above their circumstances.

The choir has been touring since 1994, spreading a message of hope for Africa's most vulnerable children and women. 

They have performed for Queen Elizabeth II and at almost every major parliament in the world.

The concert is free, but tickets must be booked in advance at eventbrite.co.uk/e/watoto-childrens-choir-in-better-days-2025-weston-super-mare-tickets-1107240529229?aff=erellivmlt.

A spokesperson for the choir said: "Like Africa, the production is vibrant and colourful, taking you on an emotional journey as the children sing, dance, and share their personal stories of restoration and hope. 

"As people see their smiles and are embraced by their hugs, the children have the privilege of telling people, 'No matter what you’re going through, Jesus is our hope and there are better days ahead.

"Look at what he has done in my life.'"

The proceeds from the album will help Watoto continue to provide vulnerable children with education, medical care, a safe place to call home, and the love of a family. By jack Roberts, Weston Mercury
