Leeds choir brightens lives of its members

Singing on the Edge, which also has members who are recovering from mental health or addiction problems, worked with Mr Whalley for a number of weeks to produce a song about what makes people feel safe and happy.

The song, called There’s a Place, was part of their performance at the Oxford Place Centre in Leeds.

Jo Crompton Project Support Worker for Space2, an arts and health charity which supports the project, said: “Because many of our participants have mental health problems they find the sessions very uplifting.

“Just coming along to sing every week with other people is a massive boost for people’s confidence and helps to makes them feel less isolated.”
