A choir made up of people with different disabilities will perform to raise money for the resource centre they attend.
Over 30 men and women with learning disabilities, physical impairments and people who are visually impaired will sing to raise cash for Waltham Forest Disability Resource Centre.
The centre in Crownfield Road, Leytonstone, provides educational activities, zumba classes and arts and crafts.
Manager Peri Stanley said singing as a group has helped the participants gain confidence.
She said: “There are all sorts of physical and psychological benefits of singing in a group.
“The people in the choir feel they have grown in confidence and it is great for people who wouldn’t be able to sing on their own.
“Their last performance was at the Chingford Village Festival in June and they really enjoyed it.
“People were cheering and clapping and supporting them and it made them feel really special.”
The choir was set up in February after Waltham Forest Disability Resource Centre received a grant of £11,828 from the Postcode Lottery Trust.
The concert will take place at St Saviour’s Church in Markhouse Road, Walthamstow, at 7.30pm on Friday, September 23.
