Choir of High Hopes
Overcoming social isolation through the joy of singing
The Choir of High Hopes was founded in 2007 by a passionate and caring team of people with a love of music and singing. The choir exists to provide anyone, young or old, with an interest in music and singing an outlet to explore, develop and awaken their gifts through music and song while developing confidence and connection.
Enhancing confidence and self esteem
By developing singing skills and facilitating opportunity for social connections the choir aims to empower confidence, self-worth, self-esteem and encourage peer support; consequently enhancing social integration and inclusion.
The choir rehearses every Wednesday morning and members enjoy lunch together afterwards. Throughout the year the choir performs at many concerts and community events.
Community Support Story
Thanks to the generosity of Calvary a trip to the North West Coast was made possible, with a donation of $1,000, where choir members had the privilege of performing over the ‘Choc Fest’ weekend. The donation covered, accommodation and travel expenses.
“This event is the highlight of our year. We look forward to this as the audience are so encouraging which makes everyone happy and we all go home with a light heart. The choir members being able to spend the night in accommodation added to the joy. Thank you for helping us to be so blessed”
“What a difference it has made to my life. I was a very quiet lonely lady and didn’t have any friends. Now I have learnt to speak with people and made many friends.”
