THE CHALLENGERS CAROL CONCERT
Join Challengers at their inclusive family Carol Concert – dancing is positively encouraged!
Challengers would like to invite you to our inclusive carol concert at St Andrew’s Church in Farnham to enjoy some festive celebrations together. The famous Rock Choir will be performing again as well as a few other surprises and performances. There will be mince pies, mulled wine, and of course your favourite Christmas songs for you to listen to and join in with!
Everyone is welcome at the Challengers carol concert, with the aim to make the event an inclusive experience for all of our families. As one parent who attended last year commented:
‘The Challengers carol concert really is a very special event, to which everyone is able to come and enjoy the time in whichever way works for them. My daughter loves getting up and dancing right in front of the musicians which is more than welcomed – it really is such an inclusive experience. I wouldn’t take my daughter to a mainstream carol event as her behaviour is unpredictable and she can be noisy, but this event really is for all Challengers young people and families – anything goes! I would encourage anyone to come along – we had such a fun time last year.’
St Andrew’s Church is wheelchair accessible, offers families use of a creche (in case they need a break), and features Makaton and PECS (Picture Exchange Communication System) in the carol concert booklet to support those with learning disabilities and communication differences to understand and enjoy the event. There is no expectation for children and young people to sit quietly, and everyone is welcome to express themselves – children and young people are free to dance in the aisles.
Please do get in touch if you have any concerns about accessibility and the team can ensure they can meet your individual needs so you and your family can be included.
