The Southsea Community Choir

Please see Facebook for more information

Established in 2007 by Janet Ayers, the choir now performs two concerts a year and Sing for Water Portsmouth, plus various busking performances locally, raising money for local and national charities.
We sing songs from all over the world, in lots of different languages, plus English, all unaccompanied in 4 part harmony. Songs to celebrate the passing of the seasons of nature and the seasons of life.
The choir is open to anyone who wants to sing, no audition and no experience necessary, just the willingness to jump in and have a go.

Grow, Plant, Share and Eat Locally

We’re a beloved green-space where we grow local food and flowers. A community garden, transformed from long forgotten wasteland. Portsmouth City council support our social venture in their commitment to local communities.

We want to get more people growing, buying local food and crafts and to share tools, campaigns and resources with others who care about the city we live in. To help make Pompey proud of it's green-spaces.

Our philosophy is to ‘grow your own’, sharing seeds, compost; plants; trees; green space and resources. With the Food Partnership, and green groups, we campaign for sustainability; recycling and reducing waste. And for a happier, healthier environment.

Southsea Sangha is an independent peer led dharma meditation community, based in the heart of Southsea, founded in 2014.

Founded in 2014 by Daniel Sutton-Johanson, with the help of local practitioners, Southsea Sangha is passionate about inclusive community building, around the intersections of meditation, dharma, social justice and collective freedom. We are committed to what bell hooks named as “Spirit, Struggle, Service & Love”, values the Buddha also taught to motivate progressive and compassionate social change. A key driver for our community is to broaden access to spiritual community practice and therefore, a principle tenet of our community has and continues to be, that of a generosity ethic. This allows us to disrupt, and where possible, remove the transactional barriers many folks face when wishing to explore personal wellbeing and healing work within spiritual practices and wisdom traditions that acknowledge the social and political contexts in which we encounter them.

Our programs offer wisdom teachings and practices from pan-Buddhist lineages right across to secular mindfulness and are freely offered. We offer day long retreats, weekly online classes and in-person practice groups to a diverse community who wish to explore, begin or expand a personal dharma practice informed by mindfulness, compassion, kindness, wisdom and generosity. You don’t need to be Buddhist to meditate or to just come hang with us and others at Sangha. You are very welcome just as you are. Bring it all.

All our regular groups and classes are freely offered with no advance booking needed.

We exist to serve our community, both locally and online.
