Oxford and Beyond Inclusive Choir: Soundabout’s Oxford and Beyond Inclusive Choir enables people with profound and severe learning disabilities to sing and make music together with a community of mixed ability singers from a range of backgrounds. This project will expand the choir, develop young people as Emerging Leaders, and enable full participation through an Equity Group. The grant will enable Soundabout to hold fully inclusive and accessible Choir sessions both in-person (bi-monthly) and online (18 per year). By welcoming all voices, they aim to be as inclusive as possible, and actively remove barriers to participation from those with severe and profound learning disabilities. They will develop young disabled choristers as Emerging Leaders - to be responsible for leading songs and supporting the delivery of the choir into the future. The choir performed at the CPT event on 25th May.
