Public benefits
Our purpose is to provide a vehicle for young people from differing religious, cultural and social backgrounds to join in song and performance and to learn the skills of choral singing, musical theatre and of choir formation. The direct benefits flowing from this purpose include bringing people together in a social, community or arts project or
performance. The Choir may also volunteer services for performances which will generate funds to benefit such a charity, church or individual. All performances and events are chosen with the purpose of promoting peace and reconciliation and generating community and social interaction for the benefit of all participants and concert attendees. Benefits also include providing a safe and friendly platform which will give members an opportunity to develop their skills as singers and musicians. The emphasis is on improving and working as a group but there is also time to support and develop as individuals. The Choir encourages and develops citizenship within the members of the choir so that they may develop leadership skills and mutual understanding. These benefits can be demonstrated by the comprehensive lists of choir membership and performance dates each year since the choir’s inception. Not only do choir members benefit, but member families also benefit through the close co-operation in helping to achieve the aims of the choir. The effect that performances have on the general public have given much positivity and inspiration to others, as well as entertainment through the music. The purposes of our charity will not lead to any harm. The charity’s beneficiaries are members of the public who come along to public performances. Choir members and families who take a full role in the participating and development of the choir objectives. Church Groups, Schools and other small community based organisations who ask us to perform at functions. There are no private benefits flowing from the purpose
What your organisation does
The organisation currently supports two choirs who each meet three times per week - mini choirs are drawn from 8 to 11 years and the youth choir which is age 12 - 14 years. The choirs learn an eclectic mix of songs drawn from a variety of sources and the focus is on performance and musical theatre. Performances can be held up to once a month and
the choir will help local charities to fund raise by performing at events as well as doing their own events and fundraisers. No auditions are required and the choir focuses on developing skills and talent from within the young person who can come from any background or ability. The organisation has an educational and citizenship focus as not only do young people and volunteers participate and enjoy the performances they learn how to sing and perform in a group choral setting. Citizenship comes though as the children will also help other organisations in their events and activities as well as participating in the choir.
