The Institute's Birkbeck Singers (directed by Be Bird in their Wednesday morning class) choose a charity to support each year. In 2014 that charity was the East Anglian Air Ambulance.
Through their various performances, raffles, donations and sales of DVDs/CDs the choir raised a magnificent total of £714.47 for the EAAA.
Well Done Birkbeck Singers!

How confident are you about addressing an audience whether it’s a three-minute vote of thanks or a thirty-minute talk? Are you anxious about being heard? Holding people’s attention? Making sense?
Taking a very practical approach, this one-day course targets the essentials of speaking in public, such as basic voice production, delivery techniques, body language, engaging with your audience and controlling nerves. By the end of the afternoon, whatever your starting point,you will be more confident about talking to an audience and getting your message across effectively.
