This Christmas, the Together at Christmas Carol Service will celebrate people who make a difference through acts of kindness, compassion and care.
Hosted by The Princess of Wales and supported by The Royal Foundation, the Westminster Abbey service will bring together inspirational individuals from across the United Kingdom and shine a light on the relationships and communities that help people feel supported, connected and less alone.
In a celebration reaching communities across the country, 15 local carol services will also take place across all four nations of the UK, recognising local people who have gone above and beyond to strengthen their communities and foster a sense of belonging. Alongside the service at Westminster Abbey, these events will highlight the many ways individuals and organisations are helping others feel connected, valued and supported.
At the heart of this year’s services is the belief that small acts of care can have an extraordinary impact. Whether through friendship, volunteering, neighbourliness or simply being there to listen, the services will recognise the many ways people help create environments where others feel safe, valued and able to reach out when they need support.
Now in its sixth year, Together at Christmas has become a cherished festive tradition and the Westminster Abbey service will be broadcast on ITV1 and ITVX on Christmas Eve. Through music, readings and moments of reflection, this year’s service will celebrate the power of love and kindness to bring people together, creating hope, connection and a shared sense of community during the Christmas season.
