Bath singing and wellbeing charity ‘Voices for Life’ welcomes Wera Hobhouse MP on board as an Ambassador
Bath’s MP Wera Hobhouse has signed up to be an Ambassador for Bath charity ‘Voices for Life’. Voices for Life’s mission is for every child, no matter who they are or where they live, to have the opportunity to enjoy singing together, build confidence and develop in all aspects of their life, musically and beyond. Wera firmly believes in supporting people of all ages, particularly young people, to express themselves creatively. Passionate about the power of music to enhance young people’s self-confidence and wellbeing, Wera is the Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Music Education.
Tessa Armstrong, Voices for Life Founder and Executive Director said “We are thrilled to welcome Wera Hobhouse as an ambassador for the charity. 2023 is an incredibly exciting year for the charity with the launch of our new project ‘Extraordinary!’ and we are delighted to have Wera on board as we bring the joy of singing to thousands more children.”
Founded in 2020 by Tessa Armstrong, the charity has thrived, inspiring thousands of children to be happy and confident through music. With the support of generous donors, ambassadors, the Arts Council and the West of England Music Alliance, the singing and wellbeing charity is going from strength to strength. In 2023 the charity aims to reach an incredible thousand more children through its singing projects and choirs.
Bath Wera Hobhouse MP said “I am impressed by the work that Tessa Armstrong and Voices for Life are doing to support children’s wellbeing through music. I am delighted to support them. It was such a joy to hear the Voices for Life choir perform at the Concert of Warmth and Light for Ukraine at Bath Abbey on 24th February. Watching the youngsters perform with passion and confidence was proof of music’s power to enhance our lives.”
