Sound and Song for Mums
Sound and Song for Mums is a singing support group for new mothers experiencing feelings of stress, anxiety and social isolation.
Our community group provides a fun way to boost mood, unwind and de-stress through the joy of singing. Sessions are led by a specialist singing leader with songs ranging from pop to folk to gospel. The emphasis is on enjoyment, not perfection, and you can bring your baby along too.
Come along for FREE, the group is fully funded. Weekly sessions allow you to connect with other mums in a supportive space, establish a structure to your week and give yourself a positive experience; all while the little ones soak up the sounds from singing.

No! You don’t need any singing experience to join us. We’ll slowly introduce very simple songs and melodies with the option to try harmonies once you’ve built up your confidence. Everyone goes at their own pace. The emphasis is on enjoyment, not perfection.
