Singing for Recovery is kindly funded by St. James’s Place Charitable Foundation.
Responsibilities
Setting up the Learning Centre for weekly Singing for Recovery sessions (including pulling out the piano, putting out chairs and setting up the tea/coffee table).
Assisting Claire throughout the sessions by taking a register, handing out song sheets, and letting in latecomers.
Supporting participants, whether through song, with a chat, or by getting them a hot drink.
Putting away the tea/coffee table, chairs, and piano at the end of each session. Hoovering after taking down, if necessary.
