Community choirs across Surrey for schools, care settings and community groups.
ChoirBLAST runs accessible community choirs, free for the people who would otherwise have no other way to take part. We bring our choirs into the heart of communities, taking a trained choir leader, live music and a warm, accessible session directly to your school, care home or community space.
Every session is genuinely free, for the people taking part and for the organisations we work alongside. Every session uses Makaton signing, so no one is left out. And every session is built on a simple belief: anyone can sing, and singing together changes something.
Accessible community choirs (and the power of singing) for three groups
children, including those in schools with little music provision
people living with physical disabilities, such as MS and epilepsy
people living with mental health and wellbeing challenges.
We bring our choirs into the heart of these communities, taking live music and a warm, welcoming session into schools, care homes and community spaces, so there is no cost and no barrier to taking part.
Every session uses Makaton signing alongside singing, so everyone can join in from the very first moment.
Our current community choirs
We currently work with 6 local organisations and schools. We are always looking for more communities to join us.
Singing
Foxes
A choir for primary-age children at St Mark and All Saints School
Around 20 singers from Year 3 to Year 6 at St Mark and All Saints School in Godalming, Surrey.
A notably diverse school where many children are on free school meals or have special educational needs. For some of these children, choir is the place where they truly shine.
Samson Singers
A choir for adults living with MS at the Samson Centre
For adults living with MS in partnership with The Samson Centre in Guildford, Surrey.
Group singing supports breathing and circulation in a way that is social and joyful, never clinical. Sessions are also available online for members who cannot attend in person.
Wharf Songbirds
A choir for preschool children at Wharf Nursery School
Our youngest singers, over 50 children aged two to four at Wharf Nursery School in Godalming, Surrey.
Short, joyful sessions using song, movement and Makaton to support early language and listening.
The Meath Singing Sessions
A choir for people living with epilepsy at The Meath Epilepsy Trust Care Home.
20-40 residents of the Meath Epilepsy Trust, a care home for people in Godalming, Surrey with epilepsy and related disabilities.
Staff see how much brighter residents are during and after every 90 minute session.

Moss Lane Songsters
A choir for primary-age children at Moss Lane Infant School
40+ children from Reception to Year 2 children at Moss Lane Infant School in Godalming, Surrey.
Singing and signing together, with some performing solos for the very first time.
Encore Oakleaf
A choir for people living with mental health and wellbeing challenges at Oakleaf
In partnership with Oakleaf Mental Health Charity in Guildford, Surrey.
Launched in May 2026.
Group singing is a well-evidenced, non-clinical way to ease isolation and lift mood.
Supporting the halow project
We make a financial donation to the halow project, which runs its own choir sessions for young people with learning disabilities. We do not run these sessions ourselves, but we are proud to support work that shares our belief.
Request a free ChoirBLAST choir for your community
If you work with a school, care setting or community group that would benefit from an accessible choir (free for it's members) and the power of singing as therapy, we would love to talk. We bring everything, it costs you nothing, and we tailor every session to whoever is in the room.
