Shared Harmonies is about bringing people together - creating moments of connection, confidence and wellbeing through singing.

Every week, around 250 people come together in Shared Harmonies groups to sing, connect and support one another. For people living with long-term health conditions, poor mental health or isolation, these groups offer far more than music: they provide friendship, confidence, practical support and a place to belong.

We’re asking our whole Shared Harmonies community – participants, team and wider supporters – to help us raise £25,000 to keep our groups singing and make it possible for more people to experience their benefits.

Whether you donate, come to an event, organise a fundraiser or simply share our campaign, you’ll be helping these special communities continue to thrive.

Many of our participants are living with respiratory conditions, Parkinson’s, dementia, cancer, Long Covid, poor mental health or other circumstances that can make everyday life harder and more isolating. Through carefully designed singing, breathing and wellbeing activities, our groups help people manage symptoms, build confidence and energy, form friendships and rediscover a sense of possibility.

The results can be life-changing. Participants have told us that they breathe more easily, feel less anxious and isolated and have greater confidence in managing their health. Just as importantly, they become part of a community in which they are seen for who they are and what they can do.

Demand for this work continues to grow, while the funding environment for small community organisations remains extremely challenging. By helping us raise £25,000, our participants, families, friends and supporters can help sustain these welcoming singing communities and enable Shared Harmonies to reach more of the people who need them.
