One member said the group is amazing way to support people’s mental health and wellbeing, particularly for members who are ill or have been recently bereaved.

The next big venture for the choir is taking part in the prestigious Manchester Annual Choral Competition.

But, as a charity themselves, they help to raise money for other charitable organisations including Wellspring, Frank’s Fund, fire engine for the Ukraine Appeal, Knaresborough Foodbank and Resurrected Bites.
