CHRISTMAS SPECIAL - Community Action Pod Episode 5: Arts and Inclusion

Melanie Benn

As we near the end of the year, please gather round for a chat with Jim Bell, the Development Director at Artspace. We’ll be listening to some of the music gathered from St Stephens Church and their annual Christmas Tree Festival. They play host to a special community choir taking part. 

We look back at some of the themes from our earlier episodes and pay homage to the power of singing together, using a digital format to help make it happen.
