Ralph Woodward (L, 1979–90) has completed a 17-mile sponsored walk from Cambridge to Ely, raising more than £3,000 alongside two fellow members of the Fairhaven Singers. Ralph grew up in Durham and studied Music as Organ Scholar at Queens' College, Cambridge. 

He is Musical Director of the Fairhaven Singers, among his wider professional commitments, and previously served for four years as Interim Assistant Director of Music at King's College, Cambridge. Ralph also supported Durham Cathedral Schools Foundation in 2025 when he conducted the Foundation's performance of Handel's Messiah, alongside fellow ODs, raising funds for the bursary programme. The sponsored walk is supporting the Fairhaven Singers' forthcoming performance of Benjamin Britten's War Requiem at Ely Cathedral on 7 March.
