A lovely fun activity! Music is joy 🎵

🎶 Introducing The Untrained Melodies – A New Weekly Singing Group at Hirst Welfare Centre! 🎶

If you’re looking for something uplifting, social and confidence‑boosting to add to your week, this brand‑new group is the perfect place to start. Whether you’re a seasoned shower singer, someone who hums along to the radio, or you’ve never sung in front of anyone before, you’ll be welcomed with open arms.

The Untrained Melodies is all about fun, relaxation and feeling good. There’s no pressure, no performance and no teaching — just a friendly space where we sing together for pure enjoyment. Think group karaoke vibes, not a formal choir.

Singing in a group has so many benefits:
✨ Boosts mood and reduces stress
✨ Supports breathing and physical wellbeing
✨ Builds confidence in a gentle, natural way
✨ Helps you meet new people and feel part of a community
✨ Gives you a weekly moment that’s just for you

And the best part?
💜 It’s completely FREE to attend.

📍 Hirst Welfare Centre, Ashington
📅 Every Thursday from Thursday 30th April
⏰ 6:30pm – 8:30pm

Everyone is welcome — no experience needed, no expectations, just your voice and a willingness to have fun. Come along, feel amazing, and be part of something joyful.

🙏🏻 Thanks to Mocha Mondo Coffee for the coffee sacks and coffee chaf which I’m hoping will speed up our composting.
