Sing Up is seeking expressions of interest from Hubs to work with us on a series of inclusion projects.
Projects will be focussed on different aspects of inclusion and specific inclusion challenges or priorities that Hubs have. These might include, as examples (but not limited to):
- Mental well-being/anxiety
- Ethnicity/racial background
- English as an additional language
- Neuro-diversity
- LGBTQIA+
Singing is a very inclusive activity and Sing Up has a long history of working to ensure genuine inclusion – going all the way back to our Beyond the Mainstream projects when we were government funded. We would like to develop this work further to see what can be achieved in partnership with Hubs when specific inclusion challenges are tackled through a deep understanding of the barriers and with freedom to try different solutions and measure efficacy and impact.
The intention is for Sing Up to create joint funding bids with Hubs to support this work. Additionally, Sing Up will give staff time, expertise and resource as in-kind support, across both Sing Up (the company) and the charity Sing Up Foundation.
Interested Hub organisations should respond to the call for expressions of interest via this form, and submit it by the deadline of Friday 21st July 2023.
