The FEDERATION consists of Old Chorister Associations from CATHEDRALS throughout the British Isles, Eire and New Zealand.

The objects are primarily to promote friendship amongst people from like backgrounds, to assist in maintaining and improving the high standard of cathedral music that plays such a vital part in cathedral worship, to support and encourage the activities of each Association and to bring them together in closer contact with one another.

The Federation is instrumental in supporting English Cathedral Music, and maintaining the traditions of Cathedral Choir Schools. It was also instrumental in retaining BBC Choral Evensong on Wednesdays.

The FEDERATION'S official magazine is 'ONCE-A-CHORISTER' and is published annually in May.

It contains details of Festivals and AGMs, held annually at different cathedrals, reports of individual cathedral choir associations, articles on former choristers and much useful information of Association Secretaries together with future events.

An interesting magazine, at a cost of £2, for all former Cathedral Choristers.
