A Charity Evening with Beverley Humphreys

We’re delighted to invite you to a very special fundraising event this spring: An Evening with Beverley Humphreys, the celebrated Welsh soprano, broadcaster and community champion. Join us on Friday 20 March 2026 at the beautiful Cornerstone, Charles Street, Cardiff for an unforgettable night of song, storytelling, and warm Welsh spirit.

A Voice Wales Knows and Loves
Beverley Anne Humphreys, MBE, is a true Welsh cultural icon. Her remarkable career spans opera, concert performance, radio broadcasting, community work, and public service.

A familiar voice to many, Beverley presents music programmes on BBC Radio Wales and has hosted the BBC Cardiff Singer of the World competition for radio on several occasions.

Her achievements reach far beyond the stage.

In 1992, she became the first singer to lead rugby crowds at the National Stadium in the Welsh national anthem.
In 2010, she was appointed High Sheriff of Mid Glamorgan.
And in 2022, she was awarded the MBE for services to Community Cohesion and Broadcasting, particularly recognising her compassionate work with refugees.
With a lifetime of memories and experiences, Beverley brings not just a performance — but a story.

What to Expect on the Night
Joined by the exceptional pianist Ryan Wood, Beverley will take you on a journey through music, personal reflections and moments that have shaped her extraordinary life.

This intimate evening will be filled with warmth, humour, and the joy of shared song — all in support of Sight Life’s work with blind and partially sighted people across South Wales.

Sight Life will use all the funds raised to outreach to the ever-increasing number of people with sight loss in South Wales.

It’s a sad fact the people with sight loss are more than twice as likely to have experienced difficulties with unhappiness or depression than the UK average, and compared to a UK average of 58%, 35% of people with sight loss had good life satisfaction and confidence.

Formerly known as Cardiff Institute for the Blind, Sight Life is one of Wales’ oldest charities.

Sight Life provides the essential help, advice and support for anyone with sight loss in South Wales, with a particular focus on Cardiff, Swansea and Rhondda Cynon Taf.

We have a base in the centre of Cardiff in our Activity and Resource Centre. Our work is also carried out via home visits, groups in the community and through 1:1 sessions.

Over the next year we will work with 4000 visually impaired members across the region to help them engage with and take part in society.

We make a clear impact. In one of our recent surveys 90% of members told us that they felt less isolated and lonely, 80% felt more independent and 74% were more active and healthier as a result of our work.

We have a range of activities and groups for people to participate in, access the arts, take part in sport and visit new places.

Our work is designed to support blind and partially sighted people at all stages of their sight loss journey and for a duration appropriate to their needs, this could be indefinitely.

How you can help:

• £ 10 could help someone attend a virtual peer support group to hear from others with their sight condition.

• £ 20 could allow us to help someone select the right assistive device to empower them to live independently.

• £ 50 could provide tailored technology support to help someone with sight loss stay connected.

• £ 100 could provide a home visit to someone newly diagnosed with sight loss to advise them on independent living and staying active and safe at home.
