Volunteer
Jon is one of our wonderful Volunteers. He says…
Music makes me happy, I love sharing it with friends. I run Jon’s Jukebox with People’s Choice Group, where I get to play my favourite songs and share them with everyone. I also volunteer with their singing group, which I really enjoy.
I’ve sung in front of people many times, including friends and community members. Last year I sang at an event for the Youth Federation at the Duke of Westminster’s residence, where there were mayors, MPs, and other important guests. I was also invited to sing on stage at the Christmas Light switch-ons in Ellesmere Port and Frodsham and at the Arts and Music Festival in Ellesmere Port.
I now regularly sing in care homes with my girlfriend Julia.
I’ve seen many musicals over the years. Some of my favourites are “Wicked,” “We Will Rock You,” “Annie,” “Dreamgirls,” and “Grease.” “Wicked” is my absolute favourite.
I’ve been to many concerts, including Michael Bublé, Biffy Clyro, Rag’n’Bone Man, Little Mix, McFly, James Morrison, Adele, and Jools Holland. My favourites were Michael Bublé and Little Mix.
As well as singing I’m passionate about helping people. I was a member of the Inspirers Panel last year at the Storyhouse Kaleidoscope Festival.
I am a wellbeing walking leader.
