Sanctuary Singers - Our Why

At Leeds Sanctuary, two of our core values are Relationship and Flourishing. This singing group is offered to meet people wherever they’re at, in the hope that it will enable them to take steps toward becoming who they were made to be. Communal singing has been proven to have many benefits to both physical and mental health and overall wellbeing, self-esteem and self -confidence. 

Psalm 100:1-2 says, “Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth! Worship the Lord with gladness. Come before him, singing with joy”. At Sanctuary Singers, we emphasise joy and participation, singing for enjoyment and happiness rather than performance. 

Our heritage as a Methodist charity also calls us to help others learn and grow, through mutual support and care.
