🎵🎤 When The Include Choir performed songs using Makaton in a town centre this weekend... not 1, not 2, but 3 people felt inspired to get on stage and join in 💜 This boy's enthusiasm was brilliant. That's what #inclusion is all about! #InclusiveCommunication #Community #Redhill

How many recent hours/days collectively wasted hunting for the Twitter app icon (still looking for the blue 🐦)? Plus the time it takes to type or read the phrase "✖️, the platform formerly known as Twitter" Some say it's been 7 hours & 15 days 👑 Prince, Nothing Compares 2 U

The Include Choir has had to make the decision to do sessions via Zoom this week because of staff and volunteer illness. No face to face, we're sorry. The Zoom link has been emailed to regulars, but if you are new or know someone new, this is a way try the Choir from home first.

Some charities talk about ‘beneficiaries’ – the people they help. Include doesn’t say ‘beneficiaries’ because members are so integrated into everything, they help run the charity. Sarah is our Choir Rep in Epsom and one of our Inclusion Champions #inclusive #SupportedVolunteering
