The workshop will be led by David McKee, and the day will conclude with an informal performance at about 5pm which friends and family can attend.

John Pilling, a retired doctor who is treasurer for the society, said: 'This is a great opportunity. Singing can positively enhance our physical, mental, emotional and social health and wellbeing. Apart from being great fun singing brings people together and boosts energy levels. We hope that with this support from Norfolk Community Foundation we can encourage more people to share in our music-making '
