I was particularly impressed with how quickly you got to know the children, recogni5ed their individuality and built relationships. They thought you were amazing." "The concerts were very well received by parents, and we have received many positive comment5. What struck me was the smiles on their faces throughout the concert - for many of the children the concerts will be something they will remember for a very long time. For our pupils, engaging in a project like the Main Event is transformational, they will probably never have experienced anything like this before. Since subscribing to the iSingPOP resources, I have been really impressed. We use the Pop Box to support our pupils in leading worship and the classroom worship resources weekly.

Our first pilot scheme with Coventry Diocese. commenced in January 2024, and every child in their church schools had access to our weekly "Classroom Worship" resource, while all parishes received a Pop Box" for use in both church and school. We have seen the church and school embrace isingPOP in a new, fresh and exciting way. Building on the success of Alive 2023, Coventry having their own project leader going into schools and churches, has been instrumental in enabling more children to explore the Christian faith, what they believe & their place in this world. The feedback from the schools has been that having the iSingPOP leaders and resources readily available has resulted in stronger. more meaningful and joyful Collective Worship. Alongside this the churches have been trained in the Pop Box and have set up new Services like "Pop Up Church" where families have explored faith together. -we LOVE Emma and iSingPop. The songs bring our worship to life and bring joy to everyone. Our families loved the concerts and enjoy the songs even now as we sing them weekly in our SHINE celebrations."
