Do you believe that you cannot sing? Or perhaps you have not sung for many years and wish to re-engage with your voice?Discover Your Voice is an informal, relaxed and supportive weekend of singing workshops for adults who want to (re-) learn to use their voices on a practical level, but also discover how singing can help us connect to our emotional and spiritual centres. There is no need to be able to read music.

The London Quaker Christmas Shelter this year are looking for musicians.Or anyone who would would be willing to do a shift in the entertainment slot.
It's 5-6pm on the 24th and 25th.
They are looking for something to lift spirits, something the guests can maybe join in with, something to listen to/watch or anything jolly or serious quality music.
It might be a great opportunity for people to practice something they want to run by an audience before a performance or something?
If you know of anyone or if you want to do it please contact Emma Anthony on 7533 541525
Thank you, and Happy Christmas!

Facebook is pushing administrators to pay to promote every post/update from their page. In an attempt to make page administrators pay for "promoted posts" Facebook will now only let 7% of you receive each update we post. We simply cannot afford the money we would need to spend on each post.Meaning that now, in order to receive all Leaveners related messages/posts, you must do the following:
1) Go to The Leaveners Facebook page.
2) Hover your mouse over where it says "LIKED" and click on "ADD TO INTERESTS LISTS" (perhaps make a Quaker list)
By doing this, you will be able to see ALL of posts about The Leaveners in your news feed!. Do this for all of the pages you want updates from.
