Celebrity supporters
Several of our well-known boosters who have voiced and demonstrated their support for our carol-singing appeal.
Carols support 'Carolling Carols' event
Several Carols, including chorallers and celebrities Carol McGiffin and Carol Smillie, supported our 'Carolling Carols' event at Exmouth Market in London on 14 December. For the event, we gathered as many people called 'Carol' - including Carols, Caroles, Karols and Carolines - to join us to sing Christmas carols. Several honourary Carols (ie people named anything other than Carol) joined us and sang, as well.

'Join The Children's Society this Christmas and use your musical talents to raise money and help make childhood better for all children in the UK. Whether it's a concert, carol singing or even busking, let music make a difference.'
Carrie and David Grant
'Help The Children's Society by singing your hearts out to raise money to make childhood better for all children. Or organise a carol singing concert - it's a great way to fundraise while entertaining your friends and community.'
Carol Smillie
'I've always felt that carols are one of the best parts of Christmas – although I suppose I might be a little biased! I whole-heartedly support the idea of carol singing for such a vital appeal and would encourage anyone to take part.
'The plight of runaway children always seems particularly heartbreaking at this time of year when so many of us will enjoy celebrations with our family and friends. So please spare these youngsters a thought and raise your voice in song this Christmas. This is one Carol who’s certainly supporting carols for a great cause.'
Carol McGiffin
'As a Carol myself, I can't think of a better way to launch The Children's Society's Christmas carol appeal than with a group of people called Carol, singing Christmas carols.
'I love singing Christmas carols and I'm sure this will be a fun way for people to get involved and help raise money for vulnerable children and young people in the UK. Whether you can join the carollers at Exmouth Market or hold your own carol singing event, you are supporting The Children's Society's campaign to make runaways safe'.
