Orange Box Choir

The Orange Box Choir was born out of Orange Box young people’s centre and is one of Square Chapel’s community engagement programmes. It is made up of children, young people, volunteers and support workers from Orange Box, Youth Works Calderdale, Project Challenge, Next Step Trust, Young Foundations, Calderdale College, Ravenscliffe High School and other local services and schools.

Young people with varying abilities are in the Choir; some had never sung before joining. Some of the young people have disabilities/additional needs, come from difficult circumstances, may be socially isolated and have mental health issues but all of them are passionate about singing! The Choir is a huge confidence boost for them and creates a positive experience in a supportive environment in which they feel safe. It gives them a platform for their voices be heard by others in order to inspire their talents and give a strong foundation to overcome their barriers and reach their true potential.

It is so important for young people to have something in their lives they can focus their energy on. It provides them with the necessary support and resources to build confidence, develop relationships and skill sets. The progress we have seen in the young people we have already worked with is clear and rewarding for them and their communities.

Seeing young people lacking in confidence being able to perform for their local community makes us all proud. Some of the barriers the choir members have had to overcome in their lives is a testament to their resilience and determination and a positive example of what young people can achieve with the necessary support.

If you are interested in booking the Choir, then contact [email redacted].uk

Or maybe you would like to join? The Choir meet every Thursday afternoon to rehearse and are always looking for new members. So, if you are interested in joining, then contact us.

We would be so grateful to continue the Choir and give it a chance to grow, to inspire the talents and change the lives of young people in Calderdale.
