Volunteer Choir Singer at HMP Downview

We are looking for volunteers to sing with our team of exceptional musicians, and the women of HMP Downview every Wednesday afternoon from 2 - 4 pm all year round.

You will be singing with our team of exceptional musicians, and the prisoners every week throughout the year. The Liberty Choir team will provide you with all the guidance you need for your first visit.

With your help, we can support even more prisoners as they serve their sentences.

We know that attending Liberty Choir has a significant impact on reducing reoffending rates. Singing together helps participants develop valuable life skills, such as learning to appreciate themselves and others. Over time, participants build self-confidence and form new social bonds while improving literacy, maths, music appreciation and much more. The sessions are FUN as well as rewarding.

Liberty Choir is a national charity bringing members of the public into prisons across the UK to sing with our choir of musicians, volunteers and prisoners every week.

With your help, we can support even more prisoners through their sentence and help them get a second chance at life through the power of music and community.

What skills do I need?

The choir sings from music sheets as well as learning songs by heart, and has a wide repertoire from swing and gospel to pop and classical. No prior musical experience is required, but a love of music and singing is desirable.

Volunteers need an open mind and a non-judgemental approach to prisons and inmates. A supportive, positive and caring attitude is essential.
