| Recipient Org: Charity Number | 1149820 |
| Recipient Org: Description | Sound Resource works for a society that is better connected, with improved health and wellbeing. We run fun, inclusive, participatory singing sessions which bring adults in the community together in a friendly social setting. We often reach people in the community who are struggling to connect to normal life, for example because of a health condition, a care need, or simply because they are isolated. There are no auditions, participants don’t need experience and there’s no need to read music. Sessions are guided by experienced community singing practitioners using a wide range of material. The charity provides:regular sessions for people with lung conditions, people with dementia and their carers, adults in partnership with local housing associations and arts centres. We are growing a network of leaders, mentoring those wishing to progress their community singing skills, giving consultancy on the benefits of singing for wellbeing, and training for organisations wanting to build staff confidence in facilitating singing as part of their delivery roles. We are exploring innovative ways of running integrated sessions and are currently working with Age UK Oxfordshire and MIND to train staff to deliver and support singing as part of their activity, and the programme is expanding. |
