Could you be a great communicator? You can learn Inclusive Communication skills (e.g. Makaton signing / Talking Mats) and support an inclusive choir for people with and without communication or learning difficulties.
Help Include provide an inclusive environment, opportunities to learn skills and build friendships, while enjoying a good sing song. We encourage people with or without communication difficulties to join us, promoting awareness, and teaching skills in the community. We also deliver training to organisations on how to better support the people we engage with. No musical experience necessary, just enjoyment of music and fun!
Include are dedicated to improving lives and that is not just for our service users but for our volunteers too!
