  • Taster session: choir singing

    • This is part of a series of taster sessions for stress-busting activities for parent carers, funded by the Big Lottery Fund.

      Singing is a lovely way of connecting with other people, and can help to relieve stress – but joining an existing choir can seem daunting. This session is aimed at parents who would like to give singing a go but lack confidence. You’ll meet Liz Nicholas, who runs the Council and Carers Choir, and hopefully also some of its members.

      It helps if you can book to let us know you’re coming – but you can also just turn up!
