Here is what participants say about Sing For Better Health:
Over Zoom “Udita Everett’s singing groups are an important part of many lives. I appreciate very much the effort she has made to enable us to attend via Zoom during lockdown. I have been shielding so the days could have been long and lonely, but the knowledge of the various online meetings I have been able to attend made a huge difference. Singing for Better Health has really lived up to its name during recent months.”
“…..Suddenly, abruptly, covid-19 and shielding completely emptied my diary. Everything had been cancelled. Nothing of my old life remained, just phone calls and an occasional sighting of the family from afar. One day, while on Facebook I saw your announcement – Sing for Better Health sessions on zoom! Wow! Gosh I was delighted when you agreed to let me rejoin. It’s been marvellous seeing familiar faces again, and rather nice to make new friends. Even though lockdown has lessened, singing with Sing for Better Health on zoom remains a focal part of my week. So many thanks for keeping me sane.” READ MORE…

“Sing For Better Health has given me back my voice, my confidence, my identity and my life.” “I love our singing group for several reasons! Firstly, I love singing and it doesn’t really matter if I sing well or not, though I think I’m improving! The group of singers are a great bunch and I enjoy the chatter over tea. We sing a mixture of songs, old and modern and however I feel when I arrive, I always feel better when I leave!” READ MORE…

Young disabled person: “I suffer from Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome hypermobility type 3, and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome. I have found both the singing itself, and the accompanying exercises, to be very helpful with both my physical posture and emotional well-being. I believe I have had less joint pain as a result when working at my computer. The group is excellently led, friendly and welcoming – it’s often a highlight of my week.” His mum: “Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the support you have given him this year.
