Sing Ireland's Guide to Choir Governance
Most choirs begin with a group of passionate people who simply love to sing together. To ensure that passion thrives long-term, it’s vital to think about how your choir is run and governed.
Our guide helps choirs develop strong governance practices around finance, transparency, and sustainability. With funding often coming from diverse sources—membership fees, concerts, local authority support, sponsorship, or fundraising—it’s important to keep everything in line with best practice.
Child Safeguarding
Many choirs work with children, young people, or vulnerable adults, and safeguarding their welfare is a key responsibility. Sing Ireland has compiled resources to help choirs create and implement strong child protection policies and ensure that leaders and staff receive the necessary training.

Fundraising is a vital way to support your choir, whether you’re covering running costs, planning a tour, or making a recording. Choirs often fundraise not just for themselves but also for charities and community causes, with benefit concerts and seasonal collections proving especially popular.
Our guide offers creative fundraising ideas to inspire your group and help you connect meaningfully with your community while raising essential funds.
