The choir was founded and is run by Jenny Harrison and Becky Chevis. Jenny leads the  choir with her exceptional professional and personal experience of adult social care. Becky directs the music, drawing on her experience leading community choirs and running our inter-generational music project, Stand By Me, which works with care homes. We are supported by a fantastic group of volunteers who help with everything from making coffee to playing the trombone. If you are interested in joining the team as a volunteer please do get in touch.

All singing abilities are welcome to join with this friendly group.  Sessions are run at Barbican House (off Commercial Road in Gloucester).  The building is accessible and has disabled parking available if needed. 

If transport is an issue we can also offer funded solutions. Please get in touch to discuss how we can help you to attend our sessions.
