Song of the Month
The Cotelands Croydon Lullaby
The words and tune for this song were written by the young mums (age 14-16yrs) as part of CRISP's Positive Activities for Young People project with teenage mums and mums-to-be.
Teenage mums get a bad reputation in the UK but this wonderful specialist Pupil Referral Unit has places for 40 babies, and most mums become responsible mothers, retaining care of their infants and going on to achieve well educationally.

What Is Natural Voice?
Natural Voice is about celebrating the voice you were born with, rather than trying to train it to an ideal of perfection.
It's about building accepting, non-judgmental communities that sing together whether it's for a short one-day workshop or for many years.
It's about welcoming all voices into a group without auditions and working from there to make a group sound.
It's about making learning by ear accessible to the whole group so that nobody needs to be able to read music.
NVPN Member Caroline Bithell
"The voice is a musical instrument we are all born with. We carry it with us, unseen, wherever we go. It may be suppressed or temporarily silenced but it cannot easily be mislaid. Unlike our material possessions, it cannot be taken away from us as we cross a border or are admitted to prison. We may be stripped of all we own but our voice, like our memory, remains. And when it is heard, it says something vital about the deepest layers of our identity, our commitment, our intentions and aspirations."
