Voices of Argyll (www.voicesofargyll.com), directed by Alison McNeill (www.alisonmcneill.com) provide high quality singing opportunities to singers from the Cowal and surrounding areas. They use Argyll’s landscape as their concert hall and seek to promote Argyll and Bute’s cultural heritage whilst creating engaging live performances for rural audiences. Voices of Argyll perform in historical venues and areas of scenic beauty including castles, forests, beaches and ferries bringing high quality, diverse music to audiences who may not have access to similar experiences out with visiting cities at an affordable or free ticket price. Through our activities, we provide a preventative approach to improving community mental health and provide the conditions for good mental health and wellbeing. Our choir provides an inclusive, empowered, resilient and safe environment to foster new friendships, increased local connectivity, positive experiences and memories for our singers and audiences alike contributing to supporting resilience of communities in their capacity to develop their own solutions to mental health, social isolation and loneliness. Within our current membership (26yrs-75 plus) we provide them with a safe environment to learn new skills in line with lifelong learning. This has enabled us to give local professional musicians the opportunity to enhance our performances over this year. We provided a health and wellbeing weekend where we offered coaching sessions with local professional musicians. This was extremely beneficial to all choir members dealing with loss and trauma. It also helped forge friendships during our weekend and intense workshop sessions on repertoire. We took the choir out to explore and perform in the outdoors, enabling us to give a different perspective on performing, extremely beneficial in mental health awareness. This culminated in a tour of Argyll and Bute and the opportunity to perform at the Mela Festival and Scottish Government showcasing a fusion of Indian and Scottish culture.
Our choir members and audience are our stakeholders. We regularly invite choir members to complete questionnaires for feedback. Testimonials from choir members and audiences too which inform our future projects. We liaise regularly with stakeholders to provide the most beneficial experiences for the choir and audiences in rural areas where there is limited access to high calibre music opportunities. Dunoon Community Radio disseminates our concerts through the airwaves to those unable to attend in person.
Two directors were paid £4,800 each (total of £9,600) to carry out all organisational work, travel arrangements, administration tasks and to direct choir rehearsals and recitals. This is a change from the previous year, in which the directors were paying additional expenses from their own personal funds. These directors' remunerations are essential in order to keep the CIC running on a sustainable basis. There were no other transactions or arrangements in connection with the remuneration of directors, or compensation for director’s loss of office, which require to be disclosed.
