About
The Wellbeing Choir takes an holistic approach to promoting and maintaining good mental and physical health through singing. It is a choir open to the whole community though aimed at supporting individuals, suffering with, or recovering from a mental illness or chronic medical disability. Many members are vulnerable adults who experience difficulties in every day life and who would otherwise be isolated and socially marginalised. However, we also welcome anyone from the local community that loves to sing!
The choir enhances the lives of its members and also reaches out to the wider community by performing in places that have little or no contact with the outside world-such as hospitals and care homes. We also perform at fun days where carers, friends and family attend. Singing at events such as the turning on of the Solihull Christmas lights raises mental health awareness.
We have also been invited to sing at health conferences and local award ceremonies. In fact, choir picks up where the clinicians leave off.
Members of the choir include mental health service users, carers, professionals and other members of the community from diverse backgrounds. With an inclusive philosophy the choir uses music to embrace and include people from all ages and all walks of life. Our choir is free of charge to anyone wishing to join and participate, although we do ask for a voluntary contribution of £4 per session.

We are committed to running a professional, well organised organisation that also puts our members at the heart of everything we do.
