Summary

Music and Health allows you the perfect opportunity to put smiles on the faces of others while blending the rhythm of wellness with the harmony of healing!

Detailed description

Since 2022, i60 Community Interest Company has been organising iconic music-making workshops and activities for the community. To mention a few and as featured on BBC, some of these programmes include our Over-50's Community Choir, African Talking Drum & Percussion Workshop and Keyboard Lessons for the Over-50's. Now we are starting a new series of community-focused workshops which focus on using music to improve health.


"Music and Health" is an uplifting community project in which we use the rhythms of wellness and harmonies of healing to improve the wellbeing of individuals in the community. The groups of people we cater to include:


  • Adults (18+) who are coping with long-term health conditions;
  • People aged 18 and over who struggle with mental health issues
  • The Over-50's 


Starting in September, we shall conduct various health-focused and wellness-oriented music-making workshops each week in Erdington (Thursdays, 11 am - 1 pm) and Ladywood (Saturdays, 3 pm - 5 pm). Whether it's "The Fitness Choir", "Drum & Bond", or our soul-stirring "SingYourMoment", members of the community will have 3 amazing programmes to choose from. However, we are in need of volunteers to assist with this laudable mission.


Can you volunteer 20 minutes of your time to conduct a gentle easy-going fitness routine? Or do you prefer welcoming people with that inspiring smile of yours?


If you are sincerely, wholeheartedly and genuinely willing and interested to volunteer and make a difference, we are looking for individuals who can volunteer in any of the following roles: 


  • Fitness Instructor
  • Usher/Welcome Team
  • Event Assistant/Set-up Crew Member
  • Photographer


To bring an experience such as this to life, no role is too small or insignificant. If you are wholeheartedly interested in volunteering in any of the roles listed above, we would love to hear from you!


Kindly complete the Application Form and we shall be in touch with you in a prompt and timely fashion.
