Freedom of Mind Community Choir Christmas Concert

Posted on December 12, 2019

The Freedom of Mind Community Choir will be holding a Christmas Concert on Friday 20^th December from 7:30pm at Falkirk Trinity Church, Manse Place, Falkirk, FK1 1JN.

The choir was originally founded in 2015 as part of a project to reduce isolation and promote self-esteem and self-confidence for those living with mental health issues. At the beginning of 2019, the decision was made to become an independent community choir, led by its members.

The concert is their first as a community choir.

There will also be a craft table with gifts available to purchase, and a raffle; all proceeds will go towards the choir.

Tickets are £6 – £8, with no charge for those under 16 years old. Tickets are available on the door, or from choir members in advance.

For further information, including how to request your ticket, please contact the Freedom of Mind choir via their Facebook page.

Alternatively, for further information, view the event poster.
