How music can help with healing Music has always held a special place in our hearts, and its therapeutic benefits are well-documented. One remarkable organisation, "Sing Your Heart Out," is harnessing the power of music to promote healing and wellbeing in the most heartwarming way. This unique group expanded its reach in 2017 by establishing the Sheringham branch. Unlike traditional choirs, they do not focus on formal performances but instead come together to enjoy the simple pleasure of singing. Importantly, they create an environment where everyone is welcome, whether they are feeling unwell or just want to sing their heart out. The group is inclusive, respecting individuals' privacy without divulging personal information. The organisation is self-funded and relies on fundraising efforts to continue its invaluable work. That's where the Aylsham Rotary Club comes in. This communityminded club, which serves not just Aylsham but the broader region, proudly contributed
£500 to support 'Sing Your Heart Out'. Along the way, 'Sing Your Heart Out' has shone brightly, with performances, media coverage, and even royal interest. The University of East Anglia conducted rigorous academic research on the group, attracting attention from academics and musicians worldwide, from Tasmania to the US. Two of the founding members even journeyed to Japan to share their remarkable story. 'Sing Your Heart Out' stands as a testament to the healing power of music and the strength of community. They invite carers, family, friends, support workers, staff, and anyone over 18 interested in nurturing their mental well-being or simply enjoying the joy of song to join their free sessions.
