Waltham Forest Community Choir members talk about their time in the choir


Five of our founder members (L to R in the photo above) Pamela Ojideagu, Norman Minter, 
Shirley Aransibia, Catherine Furlong and Marion Lancaster celebrate our 10th Anniversary
 
In January 2020 the choir was 10 years old.

To celebrate, we asked our founder members and a selection of members new and old to tell us what the choir means to them.

A big thank you to everybody who shared their stories with us.
