In the last year Simply Singing CIC has run weekly sessions for various community groups all over the North West: people living with chronic lung conditions, stroke survivors, isolated people, people with mental health conditions and the general public. Our main focus is well being. We have delivered a second year of an innovative project called BreathStars, using Singing For Lung Health techniques to improve health outcomes and quality of life for participants, as well as reducing isolation and building community links. We have continued a strong partnership with BreathChamps (run by Nurse Heather Henry) during this time. This has enabled us to deliver an expert provision, combining both clinical approach and music leading expertise. We have been able to offer work to music professionals during this year, a songwriting lead, a choir and composition lead, instrumentalists and also a British Sign Language interpreter. How they have benefited the community: 1) Healthier and emotionally resilient communities 2) Creating independent active citizens – increased purpose and responsibility and confidence 3) Improve skills – music development, relationships. 4) Raising funds and promoting charity aims. Raising awareness in the community 5) Providing positive experiences for those more isolated. 6) Taking music to those who can’t easily access it. 7) Bringing creative and engaging moments to a wider audience. 8) Encouraging people to travel into their area and engage. 9) Increased sense of belonging Quotes from participants: NWSC Charity Lead (member of choir and organiser) ‘The choir isn't just for Stockport as we have members from all over Greater Manchester - Bury Oldham, Wythenshawe, Ashton ,Hyde to name a few so people travel to our stroke choir which shows how much they benefit from this fun activity which takes them away from the appointments and rehab following stroke and for the carers it offers respite but some of them choose to join too. Our sessions are such fun but also help with breathing and memory and concentration all effects of stroke and also can improve communication and confidence. All aftereffects of stroke. One member describes " Choir is the highlight of my week. I hate it if I have to miss it." Wirral Choir member when asked if she has felt supported by the choir ‘Yes – through losing my husband – I felt I could come here and be supported and be around choir friends’ Members asked in a focus group: Use one word to describe what has Simply Singing given you – what has been of most value to you? ‘Friendship’ ‘Escapism’ confidence, exercise lungs and memory, company, warmth of a big family, coming to choir is like putting on a warm blanket, like minded people. ‘When you wake up its like ‘oo it’s choir day! It’s vital for my wife as her disability prevents her from doing so much. Just coming here gives her a huge boost’ BreathStars member 'My breathing stops me from exerting myself so I can’t play football or anything really - even stairs are difficult but I know after this session I can go and do the shop at tescos much more easily'
Who: Direct, indirect, and wider stakeholders: 1.Participants in all the workshops/singing opportunities 2. Partners (BreathChamps) 3. Theatres/organisations/Learning and participation managers/committee leaders (Floral Pavilion Theatre, The Bridgewater Hall, North West Stroke Choir committee head, Choral Pavilion Committee members) 4. Staff and guest staff/freelancers 5. Families, carers of attending Form of consultation: Focus groups, evaluations, personal statements, video interview capturing. Action in response to feedback: 1) They wanted more BIG SINGS – ‘the most wonderful feeling in your heart when we all come together’ - we have more ‘BIG SINGS’ booked. 2) We have been asked to increase membership in one of our groups, which we have done.
