Elders from the Watford Satsang group of singers raised £250 for Peace Hospice Care after weekly singing and prayer gatherings at Watford Palace Theatre.
Every Thursday the group sing in their mother tongue of Gujarati and the women were keen to give back to the community.
Binita Mehta, Conservative Cllr for Cassiobury and grandaughter of group leader Kundan Mehta, 82, said: “The principle of Seva in Hinduism is to serve the community.
“The Satsang group were keen to support the Hospice.
“It is important to them to give back to local charities, so they jumped at the opportunity to sponsor my walk.”
Binita was one of 600 walkers who took part in Peace Hospice Care’s Starlight Walk. At the start of the event she joined the Satsang Singers to hand over the cheque to the Peace Hospice Care director of fundraising.
Binita said: “It was a very proud moment for these ladies and I had a great night on the Starlight Walk supporting Peace Hospice Care.”
