Mental Health
Singing floods the brain with healthy chemicals, which gives a natural ‘high’, it also improves concentration, aids ‘muscle memory’ and boosts self-confidence and self-awareness.
Physical Benefits
Singing increases lung capacity and improves breathing.
It also improves circulation, posture and co-ordination.
It reduces stress and can alleviate the feelings of social isolation and anxiety
Social Benefits
Our sessions bring people together and help them meet and make new friends. We provide local information for people to join other community groups, clubs and make people aware of volunteering opportunities.
