Beth Collingridge is the Communications Director of Single Friendly Church Network, a charity that encourages churches to welcome and value single people at every stage of life. Beth has worked for SFCN for 7 years and is passionate about seeing single people thrive in their faith and church communities.
She heads up the training programmes and resources for churches and single champions, and enjoys equipping leaders with practical tools to welcome in those who are single. She is also a songwriter and pop artist living in London, releasing music under the name Beth Keeping.

As a UK based singer/songwriter Beth has a flair for storytelling. With colourful pop melodies and empowering themes, her honest and wistful songwriting has connected with people around the world, with self-worth and sincerity being at the forefront of her music.
Inspired by artists such as Lauv, John Mayer and Martyn Joseph, Beth started out writing for other artists in Singapore, Ireland and the USA before recording her first EP in Nashville. After receiving an allied response from fans and critics for some of her previous releases, and gaining close to a million views on TikTok over the pandemic, Beth felt inspired to start focussing on her own music as an artist. In 2022 she released EP ‘I still think about that moment’, featuring the song ‘Plane Tickets’ which became the anthem for thousands of solo travellers around the world with its honest and empowering lyrics about single life.
Beth's desire to champion and empower women is evident not only through her song lyrics, but also in her initiative 'Write Like A Girl', which shines a light on female songwriters. Founded in 2018, the movement has grown exponentially with two UK tours and sell-out writers round shows in London, Newcastle and Bristol.
In December 2022 Beth was selected among hundreds of artists to be a 2023 Ambassador for Yamaha Music London. These successes, along with her music gaining places on prestigious Spotify playlists such as New Music Friday and New Pop UK, is just a taste of what we expect to see from her in 2023.
