Help us bring music to life for people with disabilities

Inclusive Choir

A recent Birmingham Inclusive Choir session

Music and singing can have a huge impact on a person’s mental and emotional wellbeing, but opportunities to take part in them are not always easy for people with disabilities due to a range of reasons.

Our Birmingham Inclusive Choir, led by experienced Choir Leads, welcomes children and young people under the age of 25 with disabilities. Being part of the Inclusive Choir enables members to enjoy a safe and inclusive place to develop their singing and music making skills, feeling part of a special community where they can develop a personal pride, make friends and share their joy with fellow performers and audiences.

“I think in terms of me as a person, the choir has simply given me a new love, it’s like the Friday feeling on a Wednesday! When I think of choir, I smile and that says it all really. What I enjoy about being part of the community choir, is the opportunity to do something fun and uplifting.

We are a really diverse group and I love the camaraderie, the respect for one another and the development…. so that we can collectively produce a more cohesive sound as a group. This is an amazing accomplishment given that many of us including myself don’t read music and only ordinarily sing into shampoo bottles in the shower!”

Together we can make a difference

Birmingham Inclusive Choir was set up in December 2021,  working with national charity Soundabout and successfully runs alongside the West Midlands Inclusive Choir.  

The choir has continued to grow in popularity, and by nature is open to anyone with disabilities who wants to join, particularly encouraging children and young people with profound and severe learning disabilities, who may not be able to access mainstream singing opportunities.
