Our Singing Group is for Cancer Sufferers, at various stages, to get together, in a safe environment, where trust, support and enjoyment are paramount.

None of us are musically trained, or particularly talented, but TOGETHER, we can produce a harmonious sound, full of joy, which is capable of releasing us, even momentarily from the throes of the Big C! Everyone here understands and relates to your unique Cancer "journey" and it also provides respite from family and associates.
