A POPULAR community choir is preparing to hit a high note as it celebrates its tenth anniversary.
The Big Sing, founded by Howard and Gemma Francis in Witham, will mark the milestone birthday by encouraging people to reconnect with community choirs.
Since 2011, Howard and Gemma have launched choirs in Essex, Kent and Warwickshire, and are keen to emphasise that singing can bring everyone together after the pandemic.
Gemma said: “We all know that many people across the UK have felt isolated and have found the past 18 months a significant challenge to their mental health.
“We have seen that by gathering together, singing together and sharing life together we have been able to build deep bonds that have provided far more worth than simply a singing group.
