Download our free Singing Side By Side toolkit here! The result of a two year long research and practitioner action research programme with a multidisciplinary team of researchers and group singing facilitators , this free toolkit compiles insights, practical ideas, spaces for reflections and resources to support more mental health inclusive singing groups! The toolkit is designed to be flexible - you can “dip into” a section or work through the whole toolkit as required. There’s more context in our blog here. We’d love to hear how you use it and you can join our network including our Community of Practice meeting to meet other singing facilitators (next one: Monday 6th November, 2023 at 5pm) here!
