Britain’s biggest midwifery choir has launched a new charity Christmas single, with the aim of raising £500,000 — £1 for each baby born since the beginning of the pandemic.
More than 50 midwives have joined forces to create Caroll Of Hope, a Covid-themed cover of Somewhere Over The Rainbow, featuring Carroll Thompson, a British lovers rock singer.
The song celebrates the medical staff who have helped birth 500,000 babies across the UK since the first lockdown.
Money raised will go to charity Best Beginnings to launch a new version of its Baby Buddy app, an NHS-approved pregnancy and parenting app used by more than a quarter of a million parents across the UK.
