We are delighted to share that our regular singing sessions in collaboration with Mind in the Vale are now in full flow and already having a positive impact on participants!
Nicole and Giordano, our talented musical duo are delivering singing sessions at Penarth Methodist Church fortnightly on a Thursday.
‘The group who attended were wonderful. Everyone engaged and we worked through two songs. The group have also shared some song suggestions going forward, which Giordano and I are working on sourcing for future sessions.’
We had lots of positive feedback, one participant said, ‘I felt depressed this morning but after singing, I feel much happier.’, which was amazing to hear.
Nicole and Giordano, a classically trained mezzo-soprano and classical musician duo, regularly perform across Wales and England. They love to explore a variety of musical genres to connect with their audiences and participants, and we are so excited to work with them on this community singing project.
The project is funded by NHS Charities Together and is a collaboration between the Arts for Health and Wellbeing Team, Cardiff & Vale Health Charity, CAVUHB, Mind in the Vale and musical duo Nicole Boardman and Giordano Ferla to support people’s mental wellbeing in the Vale of Glamorgan.
