We have a handful of tickets which have been generously pre-paid, so that folks who might face financial barriers to the benefits of group singing can join us this Friday evening, at Trinity Church in Falkirk from 7 - 8 pm with complementary refreshments afterwards.

Paid tickets also still available on the door. Hope to see you then! PLEASE LIKE AND SHARE.

Loneliness is a public health crisis - and we’re taking action 💔

The Scottish Forum on Isolation and Loneliness has launched a manifesto calling on the next Scottish Government to make tackling loneliness a national priority.

This year the Forum, co-facilitated by Befriending Networks and Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland (CHSS), has engaged with more than 120 organisations across the country as it lays out its vision to cut chronic loneliness by half over the next decade. 🤝
Why?

1 in 5 adults in Scotland experience loneliness
Disabled people are twice as likely to feel lonely, and 41% of single pensioners felt lonely last week
Loneliness harms health, wellbeing, and communities

We’re urging bold leadership, long-term investment, and collaboration at every level from the next Scottish Government to build a more socially connected Scotland.

We're so grateful to Music for All for their support, which has enabled us to spread joy through song to people living with dementia, and their carers!

We are happy to hear that thanks to a Music for All grant, Freedom Of Mind Community Choir were able to run more of their dementia sing-along sessions! The event received so much positive feedback, with participants and carers enjoying it alike.

They said: “It was great to have several ‘returning’ individuals who have been before, including a lady who previously came to support her husband, who had dementia, although he sadly died in August. Her friend said ‘even though she’s only got sciatica, she decided to come back because they both had such a nice time together last time’.”

We LOVE being able to fund incredible projects like this. It shows that music is for everyone and can bring people closer together.

Please support Music for All in their effort to fund more amazing projects like this one by becoming a Music for All Champion! Learn more by clicking the link below:
