Breathe Sing for Lung Health

Past Programme - Our supportive and sociable singing group for patients with respiratory conditions

Originally developed in partnership with Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS respiratory team, Breathe Sing aimed to improve lung health and help manage symptoms through physical warm-ups, vocal exercises and group singing.

Led by a trained Singing Leader, songs from around the world were specially selected to support breath control and ease symptoms of breathlessness. Warm up activities helped participants with their posture, and challenged them physically as well as cognitively, but in a beneficial way.

Breathe Sing was a place of social connection with a safe and supportive community. Singing together helped participants in countering stress and tension experienced with long-term respiratory and lung conditions.

Please note: Funding for Breathe Sing for Lung Health programmes previously delivered in Warwickshire and Guy’s & St Thomas’ have sadly ended therefore both programmes are on indefinite hiatus.  If you are interested in funding this programme please contact hannah@breatheahr.org
