This year’s World Mental Health Day falls on Saturday, October 10th.

National Choral Singing Week was a huge success! 

Choral events were organised all over the country by choirs, schools and other groups to mark World Mental Health Week and to highlight the fact that choral singing is good for your mental health. In addition, numbers of choirs sang What a Wonderful World (Louis Armstrong) at the end of their weekly rehearsal to join in the week's activities.
