Singing for Health: for people with Parkinson's, those bereaved by suicide and singing in care homes
I have always loved singing! I originally trained as a physiotherapist and worked in both neurology and rheumatology, but after leading singing with home educated children and their parents, I started to lead Singing for Health groups, combining my passion for singing with my desire to promote health.
I now lead singing groups for people with Parkinson’s (both in person and on Zoom), people who have lost a loved one to suicide (in combination with Outlook Southwest) and I visit care homes to sing with their residents. I am also a member of The Red River Singers, a community choir who sing traditional Cornish songs and perform at events around Cornwall.
This group is for people with Parkinson’s and their family/carers to come along to sing for fun! We do vocal exercises and warm ups and sing both familiar and new songs with the intention of strengthening the voice to counteract the softening of speech and the loss of muscle tone common in Parkinson’s. We are a very friendly group and have a break for a drink and a chat and share news about events and opportunities for people with Parkinson’s in Cornwall.
Alternate Wednesdays 11am - 1pm

This group is for anyone who has lost a loved one to suicide and is run by Outlook Southwest in Cornwall. We meet monthly to sing a variety of uplifting songs, both familiar and new, and to share time with others who have experienced a similar loss. The session is aimed at being fun and uplifting and we have a break for a drink and a chat in the Revive cafe so there is time to meet and socialise as well as sing.
Please contact Outlook Southwest on 01208 871905 to register your interest in attending this group.
