Seachange's new wellbeing initiative, Singing for Wellbeing, has been praised by locals as a huge success.

Hosted by Music Speaks' Naomi Blundell, the launch garnered a great response with 40 participants enthusiastically joining in an afternoon of song and connection.

Head of Seachange, Marc Jobson said: "We were blown away by the turnout for the first session.

"It's wonderful to see so many people interested in exploring the positive impact singing can have on our wellbeing."

The next session is on April 3, from 2pm to 3.30pm, and costs £6 including refreshments.

The program aims to foster community and wellbeing through group singing and requires no prior experience.
