I've raised £5000 to improve connection & wellbeing through creative projects, for everyone, especially those most impacted by restrictions in response to Covid
Organised by Shared Harmonies CIC
Story
The last year has been difficult for all of us
The lack of connection with friends and family has had a huge negative impact on our wellbeing.
Shared Harmonies CIC have been determined to deliver services and experiences that keep us connected and uplifted.
It meant so much to me. Being involved in this project has been a lifeline; it’s helped me be creative and feel connected at a very difficult time.
We are running regular Facebook lives, weekly zoom singalongs and additional projects such as 'Our Song', bringing people together in the creation and sharing of a new song.
Our sessions are fun, interactive and easily accessible. We also enable people to feel part of a supportive community. They also deliver a range of benefits including:
* Reduced stress & anxiety, * improved sleep, * connection to others * feel good factor * strengthened respiratory system * overall wellbeing boost.
I feel so privileged to be part of Shared Harmonies for the last year, meeting new friends & taking part in the projects. It's been the highlight of my week"
We are determined to keep these services on a donation basis, being free to those who need it. We usually fund this work though our corporate services but during Covid, demand for these has significantly reduced while demand for our community services has dramatically increased.
This funding will help cover our core and delivery costs and ensure we can continue to support those who need us
Shared Harmonies touches the lives of so many people, providing a lifeline through the power of song
