Opening hours
‘I love singing and music because it is great for my physical and mental wellbeing and because of the positive effect that it has on me and people around me. I offered to co-deliver a Singing for Wellbeing course for the Recovery College because I believe in the transformative power of music and song.’ - Myra Whiskar, C&I Induction and Core Skills Manager.
