“Coming to the choir makes me feel very happy and relaxed.
Since I joined I’ve noticed lots of changes. For example, I feel physically fit, healthier and less stressed.
This is because it is all about singing and laughing, loving and supporting one another. After the Joyous choir activities, I go home calmly and have a sound and better sleep. I have developed stronger connections with others through the Joyous Choir.
We start by finding out more about each other and who we are. This involves being listened to, sharing our problems and views, and also respecting and understanding one another.
After we perform together I feel so great!”
