The Princess Alice Hospice community choir was established in 2014 and offers the joy of group singing, as well as support and an increased sense of wellbeing for singers – “I’m no great singer but really enjoy the time I spend at choir, for that hour and a half I forget all my sadness.” The choir is made up of bereaved family members, carers, staff, volunteers, families and friends, and members of the local community, and sings in the open foyer of the Hospice on Mondays at 6pm, where they can be heard by patients and their families. Many will listen and join in.

Do you like to sing? No previous experience or special musical skills are needed and, as a member, you’ll take part in performances that support the hospice’s work.
