Singing in a choir

Singing in a choir boosts your energy, is fun and helps you meet new people, learn new skills and enjoy singing together.

Young Auditors are groups of young people who look at their local offer of activities to support wellbeing and check that they are accessible, that there are enough of them and that they are of good quality. A choir group based in a local youth charity in Witney looked at joining choirs in Oxfordshire.

Here is the video that they made.
