The Foundation 92 Community Choir, aims to bring the local community together, raising their voice alongside promoting and strengthening the wellbeing of local residents.

The goal of this programme is to bring joy to members of the community and to create a connection through music. 

Tom Hutton, Head of Foundation 92, said “We do believe music can make an incredible impact to people lives; it can make us healthier and happier, reduce stress, and connect people across cultures, and Foundation 92 is setting up this community choir as another strand of the charity to do just that. We plan to organise performances, and these will help to raise awareness of Foundation 92, alongside fundraising for the future sustainability of the Charity”. 

Rehearsal will be held on Wednesday evenings, 7:00pm – 8:00pm at Community Hub, Doveridge Gardens, Salford, M6 7LY and led by fantastic and experienced Music Director Mr. Dan McDwyer.
