Beth is a choir member and supported volunteer, she made some of the artwork for our Big Give fundraising campaign. She says; “I want the world to know that there is no place anywhere that makes you feel so included, safe, comfortable, happy and purposeful as Include does.”❤️

The Include Choir project’s volunteers and members explain what it’s like and why it is special. Next week, Include needs to raise £25,000 through the Big Give #ChristmasChallenge. £5,485 of that is to fund The Include Choir’s rehearsals and public performances #Choir #Surrey

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

@wokeupplay @domcavendish @L0ngspaghetti @TurbineTheatre Watched yesterday afternoon and really enjoyed this play. Very funny. Great characters. Having worked in advertising for a bit in the 90s it had extra resonance.

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.

@PaddyPatterson Shame it's not 1999

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
