Mind and Soul Community Choir
Overview
Mind & Soul Choir was founded as a way of promoting mental well-being and reducing some of the stigma surrounding mental illness through singing.
The choir meets every Wednesday evening from 6 pm till 7 pm in the gym at the Maudsley Hospital, Denmark Hill, SE5 8AZ. No experience at all is necessary – everyone can sing. Membership is free (donations welcome) and open to staff and service users of the Maudsley, their friends, family and carers, and anyone in the area (SE5 and thereabouts) who wants to express their joy through singing, or has been in contact with mental health services. In fact, if you’re not in the area but can make the rehearsals, come along. There are no auditions, and you do not need to read music.
