Property industry is already in tune for Crypt Factor 2020

Tables are now on sale for one of the north of England’s most successful charity events – Crypt Factor 2020.

Any potential acts who want to perform in the property industry’s annual singing competition, are urged to sign up now.

Next year’s event will be held at Elland Road on Thursday 19 March and the show’s organising committee and main sponsors, comprising Bruntwood, Gent Visick and Pinsent Masons, are currently looking for solo singers, as well as girl and boy bands, to complete the line-up of acts.

 More than 900 property professionals were at this year’s event and helped raise a staggering £88,000, for local charities St George’s Crypt and The Leeds Fund, which is managed by Leeds Community Foundation.

St George’s Crypt put some of the money towards its new residential scheme in Hyde Park near Headingley, which is the first of its kind in Leeds, and houses homeless people who are recovering from addictions, as they prepare to live independently.

The development, known as Regent Lodge, consists of 14 self-contained studio apartments and opened this summer.

With over 37,000 people in Leeds affected by loneliness, the contribution to The Leeds Fund enabled Leeds Community Foundation to support community-based projects that build a happier, healthier and more connected city.

They helped a range of people who are lonely and need support including young people, older people, asylum seekers and refugees and those who may be considering taking their own lives.

TheBusinessDesk.com is the Crypt Factor’s official media partner and the event’s stage set-up, lighting and sound is provided by Sparq, which is a division of Saville Group. Additional support is provided by Candid PR and Anderson Advertising & Property Marketing.

Organising committee member, Dawn Allen, from Pinsent Masons, said: “Year after year the region’s property industry comes together at Crypt Factor to raise an astonishing amount of money for two very deserving local charities, and it always promises to be a fantastic night.

“Tables are already selling fast, with more than half reserved within the first couple of days, so any companies that haven’t yet booked should contact us now to avoid disappointment.

“We’re also still looking for singers and would urge anyone thinking about it, to go for it.

“Everyone who has ever performed always thoroughly enjoys it and says how it’s one of the best things they’ve ever done.

“We hold regular rehearsal events to make sure everyone is properly prepared and there’s always lots of help and advice on hand from previous Crypt Factor singers.

“It really is a once in a lifetime opportunity to take to the stage and sing to a hugely supportive audience with a state-of-the-art stage, sound and lighting set-up.”
