Singing at Ark T (360G-ocf-a061600000lBWIS)

£3,000

Singing at Ark-TA grant of £4,860 would establish Singing at Ark T as an ongoing resource for the communities of Cowley, Rose Hill, Littlemore and Blackbird Leys. Modeled on Barton Sings, our singing project generously funded by OCF in 2015 - two mentees visited Barton Sings as part of our mentoring programme and then developed placements at the Ark T as a pilot, which was extended under supervision of a Mentor. The grant would support 40 x 2 hour, weekly sessions, including an important refreshment break, which transforms social bonding effects of singing into friendships, support and encourages group community participation.

Recipient Org: Description Everyone can Sing and Singing is good for you! Sound Resource promotes and delivers inclusive, participatory and accessible ways for adults to engage in singing to enhance health, wellbeing and social bonding. Participating in singing can elicit fun, confidence, combat loneliness and encourage creativity; which enable people to flourish and become a resource for their community. Our singing projects use natural voice techniques and harmony songs (taught by ear) and focus on the benefits brought by the practice of singing in a group, rather than on performance. These benefits are shared locally by visiting community events and local care settings.
