Voices brought together by cancer THE Bolton Cancer Voices choir is looking to get the year off to a great start by encour- aging more newmem- bers to its ranks. The choir is exclu- sively for people who have received a cancer diagnosis of any kind, recently or at some point in the past. It has no geographical boundaries when it comes to membership, people just need to be able to get to the centre of Bolton for rehearsals, which are on Monday evenings from 7.30pm until 9pm. Membership is free, there are no auditions to worry about and you don’t need to be able to read music. The group describes itself as “a different and relaxed way to connect with others who under- stand life with and beyond cancer”. And it says that while cancer brings the choir together it’s their love of music that unites members. Karen Elliott, who chairs the Cancer Voices choir, said: “Singing in a choir is such a joyous and uplifting thing to do: with increasingly recognised therapeutic benefits, we would really like to encourage people to give it a try. “There’s a lovely vibe to the choir and our mem- bers are truly supportive of one another. “We have people at all points in their cancer journey and beyond: for some it’s important to leave everything cancer related at the door and just enjoy belting out great songs and look- ing forward to the next event; others are looking to connect with a com- munity that understands the challenges cancer can bring to your life. “Whatever your rea- son for joining, I can assure you you’ll be warmly welcomed to our friendly choir.” To enquire about join- ing Bolton Cancer Voices contact Karen on 01204 595562 / 07773 164235.
