Chantelle & Chloe

Winner of the Gary Barlow concert tickets

Article by Rossie Ashton

The 6th December saw Keyfund winner Chantelle “over the moon” to travel down to London for the Prince William and Harry Foundation concert with Gary Barlow at the Albert Hall. Chantelle, an incredibly worthy winner, told us how Keyfund has had an impact on her: “It has made me the person I am by giving me the opportunity to make new friends, take me off the streets, calm me down and now I go to college.”

For Chantelle and her lucky friend Chloe, it was their first time ever to London and Chloe’s first trip on a train so getting used to the speed of the city and the tube was a real eye opener. They said the concert was “fabulous”, with performances from Olly Murs, Marcus from X Factor, Jason Donovan and of course Gary. The girls stood to sing the National Anthem to TRH’s the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry and thought the Albert Hall was beautiful. The girls also took in the sights of Piccadilly Circus, Big Ben, the London Eye and the Christmas lights on Oxford Street before arriving home exhausted but euphoric from an experience they will never forget.
