Opening doors

In September 2008, the community choir the Song Birds was born. The choir meets weekly to develop their repertoire and connect with other people in their neighborhood. Many choristers had never sung before and certainly not performed in public. They are now confident in their abilities to sing whilst engaging an audience, with some performing solo.

“The choir is so much more than a group of people singing in it has provided the members; of whom many are living with dementia and who were socially isolated, an opportunity to continue to learn new skills, to challenge themselves and importantly meet new people and establish new friendships.”
