PRESS RELEASE: FRESH SOUNDS AT FRESH GROUND!

Karen Gibson — Mon, 02 Oct 2017 16:58:39 +0000

September 27^th 2017 is a date of national significance: it marks National Fitness Day where the nation will be celebrating the fun of fitness and physical activity.

Fitness, as we know, is holistic, and this date also marks another important initiative – the launch of Gospel on The Rise a new community gospel choir in the heart of Clapham Junction. From easing stress to improving the heart rate, to helping with asthma and even snoring, the benefits of singing have been well documented and residents are invited to try a hearty dose of gospel singing at the Gospel on The Rise Launch Taster Session taking place on 27th September 2017.

Why Fitness?

The challenge of busy lifestyles, the age of technology and the abundance of fast foods has heralded a rise in obesity across the country. This momentous day will see a diverse range of fitness activities offered to the general public that will improve health and vitality.

Why Singing?

The health benefits of singing have been scientifically proven to reduce stress and anxiety, alleviate depression and release natural ‘happy hormones’ such as endorphins and oxytocin. The launch will empower singers to get fit from the inside out, re-vitalising them whilst learning to sing and having lots of fun. Session members are guaranteed an evening of moving, and grooving, at the end of which they will leave with a pep in their step!

Why Gospel?

Gospel music is a globally sought after, uplifting and inspiring art form. Within the past decade its platform has grown and is becoming increasingly popular in schools, communities, workplaces and across the country and even across Europe.

The Gospel Choir is a phenomenon in itself, uniting a diverse range of individuals from varying backgrounds, abilities, ages, beliefs and various experiences of the genre – from those who have a connection to the sound, to those who are simply interested in trying something different. Gospel (meaning ‘good news’) music covers positive themes of love, hope, joy, courage, strength, faith and unity – themes which unite us all.

Why Clapham Junction?

After living in the Clapham Junction area all her life whilst traveling the world over teaching this vibrant genre, Karen decided that it was high time that she brought the energy, exhilaration and excitement of gospel music to her home town.

The 12-week initiative will begin with a taster session at Fresh Ground London, 68 Battersea Rise, SW11 1EQ. Residents of the area are invited to sign up, bring lots of energy, and they are sure to find that this workshop will not only be inspiring and educational but a lot of fun too!

When? The Summer Give launches at 12pm (midday) on Monday 15th May. Donations will be doubled until 12pm on Friday 19th May. That’s 72 hours to double your donation!!! So if you donate £20 to KLS then The Summer Give matches your donation with £20 = doubling your donation to £40.

Where? Donate online at https://secure.thebiggive.org.uk/project/25624

What? KLS’ Love to Learn Summer Programme for refugee children living in poverty in London.

KLS’ Love to Learn team recognise that holidays, trips and activities are a crucial part of education and development. Headteachers have told them how important a wide range of experiences is for child to achieve well at school.

Many of the refugee families KLS work with are on very low incomes, living in poverty and geographically isolated. Many of their children don’t often leave the borough. KLS’ summer programme of activities, trips & outings help them to get to know the children they work with better and to gain and develop trust with families as a whole.

The Summer Programme enables children to:

Have Fun
Develop Confidence
Gain new experiences
See new places
Overcome challenges

KLS run activity programmes in the school holidays, which include sports and cultural activities, as well as camping holidays and residentials.

KLS has worked in collaboration with the South Bank Centre, Natural History Museum, Royal College of Art, Pump House Gallery, Tara Arts, Urban Arts Academy to name a few. Holidays include camping in Gloucestershire, Family holidays to Degmo Somali farm camp in Wales and Haven Hastings and youth activity holidays at Hindleap Warren Outdoor education centre in the Ashdown Forest.

The children and young people nearly always mention trips as their favourite thing about being involved with KLS’ Love to Learn team: “I love going to Thursday Club – I get help with my homework and do football. I like cooking best. I went to the seaside – I’ve never been there before. I went in the sea. It was cold!”

How? Double your donation here: https://secure.thebiggive.org.uk/project/25624 on 15th-19th May.

Thank you for making this summer such a special one for so many refugee children!!!

Healthy eating for people with learning difficulties.
