The choir has now raised in excess of £200,000 for Essex Based Charities and good causes since 1989

For 2010 the Essex Police Choir has chosen to support the following charities and good causes:

 Brainwave (Registered Charity No.1073238)

Established in 1982, Brainwave now has three centres in England with the South East Centre based in Witham. These centres have proven a beacon of hope for many families of children who have suffered brain injury such as Cerebral Palsy, have a genetic condition such as Down’s syndrome or Development Delay. When a child attends Brainwave, they, and their parents, spend a whole two days at the centre where they are assessed by a dedicated team of Physiotherapists, Occupation Therapists, Educational Therapists and many other professionals who focus on what the child can do, not what they can’t. Together, they work with the family to devise a unique programme, specifically designed to suit that child’s needs, which will help and encourage them to unlock the child’s potential. Many hundreds of children have benefited from the Brainwave Programme and some achieve levels independence far beyond the expectation of their parents and doctors.

Essex Air Ambulance (Registered Charity No.1108989) 

The Essex Air Ambulance was launched in 1998 to serve the people of Essex. The air craft carries a highly skilled crew of doctors and paramedics bringing sophisticated life-saving equipment to a patient within the first few minutes of an emergency. Based at Boreham Airfield near Chelmsford the Air Ambulance has flown over 10,000 missions. It costs around £250,000 per month to cover all charitable costs and aircraft operations. Unlike other NHS emergency services, Essex Air Ambulance is a charity providing a free Helicopter Emergency Medical Service for critically ill patients. They rely solely upon the generosity and goodwill of the people and businesses of Essex to remain operational and keep saving lives.
