Voices for Life is a music and wellbeing charity working with primary-aged children through schools and communities.
Through inclusive singing and wellbeing programmes, we help children develop the confidence, wellbeing and sense of belonging they need to achieve and thrive—while discovering the joy of making music together.

Explore our Programmes
Voices for Life offers a family of singing and wellbeing programmes for primary-aged children. From whole-class school projects and digital assemblies to performances and children’s choirs, our programmes enable children to sing, create, perform and grow through shared musical experiences.
Experience the Power of Performance
Performance is an important part of the Voices for Life experience. From school celebrations to large-scale concerts, where up to 250 children from different schools perform alongside professional musicians in iconic venues, every performance gives children the opportunity to share their achievements with families, schools and communities.
Join a Voices for Life Children’s Choir
Our Voices for Life children’s choirs enable children to continue their musical journey beyond school programmes. Through regular rehearsals and exciting performances, children develop their musical skills, make new friendships and continue to enjoy the benefits of singing together.
