The event involved some 2,000 guests, from staff and supporters to church leaders and charity partners from around the world, who came together to reflect on achievements of the past eight decades, give thanks, and recommit to the charity’s mission to end global poverty. Christian Aid was founded in 1945, when churches worked together after World War Two, to consider how they could help the thousands of refugees in Europe needing shelter and basic supplies. Since then, the agency has launched the country’s longest running charity week (Christian Aid Week); helped found global organisations like the Disasters Emergency Committee to bring other charities together in times of crisis. Deputy Headteacher, Leondre Douglas said: "It was a pleasure to be involved in such a momentous occasion. As a school we felt privileged to have one of our school choirs ‘**Sacred**’ perform, as well as Destiny Ocheje, leading the gathering in a charge to end global poverty. Both the Choir and the Chaplaincy Ambassadors who were in attendance, left feeling energised and empowered to make a change". Kingdom Choir has been working closely with the gospel choir Sacred since 2023. [**The Kingdom Choir Foundation**](https://tkcfoundation.org/) work to transform lives through the power of music, bringing a message of positivity and renewal to a wider audience, and impacting lives, and empowering communities. ### Sacred Westminster Abbey [![](https://files.schudio.com/twyford-cofe-high-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/sacred-westminster-abbey/IMG_1679%201.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/twyford-cofe-high-school/images/gallery/sacred-westminster-abbey/IMG_1679%201.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/twyford-cofe-high-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/sacred-westminster-abbey/20250612_083129931_iOS.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/twyford-cofe-high-school/images/gallery/sacred-westminster-abbey/20250612_083129931_iOS.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/twyford-cofe-high-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/sacred-westminster-abbey/20250612_122821027_iOS.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/twyford-cofe-high-school/images/gallery/sacred-westminster-abbey/20250612_122821027_iOS.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/twyford-cofe-high-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/sacred-westminster-abbey/20250612_083100572_iOS.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/twyford-cofe-high-school/images/gallery/sacred-westminster-abbey/20250612_083100572_iOS.jpg) These videos were filmed from the rehearsal.
