FRANCIS BENALI

Franny moved mountains to Achieve his goals

£1.4mil raised for charity so far and the figure keeps on climbing…

As a player and Club Captain, Benali was regularly involved in community affairs in Southampton and continued to be involved following retirement by becoming a patron of a Saints community programme. Franny is currently a key figure with Saints Foundation, who work within the community and are committed to ensuring the power of football can have a lasting impact in the local and regional areas.

No half measures

In August and September 2014, Franny carried out his first Ultra endurance challenge for Cancer Research UK, completing a 1,000 mile run over three weeks visiting all 20 Premier League grounds, his efforts raising over £265,000. As a result he became the first recipient of the Barclays Spirit of the Game award in December 2014.

Pushing to the limits

Not content with the first challenge, Franny took it upon himself to push the limits of his physical and mental strength even further by attempting and completing an even more gruelling challenge, again for Cancer Research UK

HELEN SPOONER

Helen Spooner

Helen is a local pianist–singer from right here in Emsworth! She is known for her appealing vocal style, dynamic pop–rock and folk covers, and her ability to take requests.

She has performed for top-tier clients across the region and was featured in Series 3 of Channel 4’s The Piano, earning glowing feedback from MIKA and Claudia Winkleman.

Helen has appeared at Portsmouth Victorious and the renowned Wickham Festival, and is currently touring dates with the top UK Fleetwood Mac tribute show, Dreams of FM. With a fresh take on classic tracks, she is fast becoming recognised for her standout setlists and engaging live performances.

SAINTS LADIES TEAM

Artisan Theatre School

Artisan Theatre School

Artisan Theatre School is dedicated to inspiring young performers through high-quality Musical Theatre and LAMDA Speech and Drama classes. We nurture confidence, creativity and performance skills in our students, helping them grow both on and off the stage.

We are thrilled to be performing at the Greggs School’s Wonderfest event, where our talented students will be showcasing their acting, dancing and singing. Audiences can look forward to a lively selection of musical theatre songs, guaranteed to get toes tapping and have everyone singing along to some theatrical classics.

It promises to be fun for all the family, and we are incredibly excited to be part of such a fantastic event.

Sing Now

We’re Sing Now Choir, a community choir that’s been bringing people together through singing for over a decade.

Our repertoire covers a wide range of music, from well known classics to modern hits, so there’s always something familiar in the setlist. With hundreds of members across Hampshire, we regularly perform in the community and enjoy supporting local events and causes.

We rehearse weekly in Southampton, Basingstoke, Hedge End, and Fareham, and the choir is open to anyone aged 18+ who enjoys singing - no previous experience needed.
