In 2022, we were successful in being awarded funding via the National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) Managed Covid Recovery Fund to enable us to work in collaboration with The Gregson Centre, a community arts centre in Lancaster. We ran a 12 week pilot evaluation held on a fortnightly basis at The Gregson Centre for people living with a range of respiratory conditions. Succession funding was awarded via the Population Health Investment Fund for the choir to continue until into 2023. More info here

“My breathing improved after the sessions and I had a lift to carry me through the week”
“So much more fun that getting another prescription”
“It’s a shame the choir will stop due to lack of funding now we are getting to know each other. We sang most beautifully, you’d have never guessed we all have lung health problems”
