What inspired you to join The Presence Effect Choir?

What are your hopes or goals for your experience at the choir? Please include anything around your voice & presence as well as more general things.

Is there anything about how you access the choir session in terms of accessibility support that you feel relevant for me to know?

If you have any medical conditions, health concerns, or other relevant information that you believe would help us better support you during the session, please provide details below.

Do you have any repertoire suggestions? Harmony songs to sing, music to listen to during the session, Karaoke style singing songs- think Musicals, disney, pop!

Do you have any quotes or poems that are important to you that are aligned to our ethos of presence / compassion/ kindness / freeing the voice / calm / connection etc.

Would you like to join our whatsapp group (the least active group in your inbox atm). I just send out reminders, notices and it's an easy way to give me a thumbs up so I know to expect you at the session

Yes

Do you have thoughts or ideas for how you would like the choir to develop? All feedback welcome. If there are things that you havn't enjoyed as much or have found challenging in anyway this is the space to let me know.

Are you happy to be added to Pocketful Of Presence- A newsletter which will have offers, insights, news and tips and stories around voice and presence work?

I give permission for the choir to take photographs and/or video recordings of me and to use these images or recordings for promotional purposes (including website, social media, print, and other marketing materials).

Community Values & Agreements

At The Presence Effect Choir, we aim to create a calm, welcoming, and protected space where people can deepen their connection with their voice, themselves, and one another through singing. Together, we agree to help nurture a choir environment that is mindful, inclusive, respectful, and joyful.

Our Shared Values

Every Voice is Welcome

We honour all voices in their individuality and uniqueness.

We value expression over perfection and aim to create a non-judgemental, non-competitive space where everyone feels safe to sing freely.

Respect & Presence

We respect one another’s physical, emotional, and energetic space.

We support moments of quiet, listening, and reflection, helping to maintain the mindful atmosphere of the group.

Please respect the privacy of others and avoid sharing personal information or experiences shared within the group outside the choir space without consent.

We respect personal boundaries and ask members to seek consent before initiating physical contact or offering emotional support.

Kindness & Community

We strive to be warm, welcoming, supportive, and inclusive.

We recognise that community is built through mutual respect, care, encouragement, and shared joy.

We welcome people of diverse backgrounds, identities, abilities, and levels of musical experience.

We strive to meet members needs, however we are unable to offer one to one support.

Listening & Participation

Everyone is invited — never pressured — to contribute thoughts or reflections during sessions.

We support all voices being heard and remain mindful not to dominate the space.

Safety & Boundaries

We maintain a zero-tolerance approach to discriminatory, aggressive, harassing, or persistently disruptive behaviour in any form.

The emotional and physical wellbeing of the group is prioritised, and the Choir Director may, at their discretion, pause or end a member’s participation where necessary to support the wellbeing of the group.

While we aim to create a supportive environment, The Presence Effect Choir is not a therapeutic or clinical support service.

Commitment to the Group

Please communicate attendance where possible, arrive prepared for sessions, and support the shared flow of the choir experience.

Practical Agreements & Policies

Attendance & Membership

Membership fees are due by the first session of each term or following a taster session. Please let Fran know in advance if you are unable to attend a session.

All members are asked to sign in on arrival so we know who to expect in the space.

Privacy

Personal information is used for membership administration, choir communication, event updates, and relevant choir news. Former members may occasionally receive updates unless they request otherwise.

Photography & Media

Photos or video may occasionally be taken during rehearsals or events for promotional and community purposes. Consent preferences shared during registration will always be respected.

Liability

Members are responsible for their own conduct and belongings. The Presence Effect Choir cannot accept responsibility for injury, loss, or damage resulting from inappropriate behaviour or misconduct.
