Our story

Since 2009, Motivation by Music (MbM) has been connecting communities through singing, and in recent years has had the privilege of partnering with two incredible charities to facilitate choirs that empower, support and give purpose to their members. 

Since founder and multi award-winning local hero, Emily Bollon, founded Parkinsong Voices, they have grown from strength to strength - connecting people with shared experiences, building community and complementing standard treatments for Parkinson's: helping improve posture, movement and muscle coordination as well as developing breath support, vocal projection and a real a sense of belonging. 

MbM started raising money for the local branch through performances and charity singles before the pandemic and since then, virtually! The UK lockdown saw Parkinsong Voices' choir rehearsals continue and thrive online via Zoom - welcoming members from further afield! Singers from across MbM joined together in the virtual remake of Emily's original song Spring of Life which in total has now raised over £7500. 

Parkinson's UK Guildford & South Surrey is a registered charity in England and Wales. Registered no. 258197.
