20,000 Voices - encouraging singing

20,000 Voices encourages everyone to enjoy singing. It is our mission to provide a first class service to anyone who wants to sing. We will provide opportunities for: Regular singing; Special workshops with nationally known leaders; Singing Saturdays - for all to enjoy; Vocal Development; Projects for families with young children. We will work in partnership with other organisations to provide great opportunities for existing and new singers - even those who think they can't sing.

Why they need our service

During the past 18 years 20,000 Voices has created a singing community. It has also brought more than 145,000 voices together (not all at once!) to sing a huge variety of music. We need to ensure our work continues to give opportunities to all these people, and many more who want to try singing. Many singers and choirs rely on our service for information, support, guidance and inspiration.

Plan and expected results

Our target is to raise £6,000 from individual giving during the next 9 months to help us deliver our core activities. We will be able to provide new singers with opportunities in their locality; we will be able to stretch and develop the skills of our regular singers, and we will have enough funds in place to carry on doing organising the wide variety of work which so many people value. During 2012-13 we expect to provide 355 singing sessions, and work with 8,500 voices across the region.
