In 2006 I was asked to run a group in Newham which became The Welle’s Belles (and, eventually, Beaux). In 2011 that choir became Newham Super Choir . A group that is still going strong. Please do look at their website www.newhamsuperchoir.org. Most recently NSC ran its own extremely successful Singing for Health Project in East Ham.
In 2024 I became a tutor for Medway Adult Education where I run the Singing for Health sessions at the Rochester hub and an outreach project in Gillingham.
In the past for the London Borough of Newham I ran, or was involved in various singing projects including; Singing for Health and Newham Young Peoples Chorus.
For C&C (Central & Cecil) I was in charge of the musical side of their My Own Front Door project and went on to run singing groups in their homes and assisted living venues. I was also part of the inaugural pilot for a Choir in Every Care Home.
