Can t sing choir
On Wednesday June 2, March Can’t Sing Choir met in the Trinity Church Memorial Rose Garden, with Sally Rose conducting, and Paul Hayward providing the music.
We sang, socially distanced, in two groups of twelve, at a one-hour interval, with Cllr Ray Jack enjoying his invitation to attend. Our thanks to him for finding the time in his busy diary.
The choir has not sung together for ten months, due to Covid-19 lockdown, but all were enthusiastic at our outdoor restart, if a little rusty in the voices.

Q: Are there positive mental and emotional impacts too?
Homecare can continue to provide and build upon familiar routines in a way that suits the individual.

As well as leading to a higher overall quality of life, homecare is clearly linked to being able to maintain good mental health and wellbeing.
Being in your own home with your own personal possessions around you, continuing to live with your partner or family and being a part of the wider community, along with the dignity and familiarity of remaining in your own home means that people can continue to be themselves.
Andy Barber, engagement manager at Caring Together
- Credit: Caring Together Carers are always very grateful because it takes all the hassle out of it. The taxi will wait for them, for example, while they are getting their jab. People who look after family or friends have a lot to deal with, so we are really conscious of how much those little things matter. It is one less thing on the list for them to think about.
On Caring Together s part in the Call to Carers campaign, Mr Barber added: We ve had a steady stream of people getting in touch in the last week, and we expect more and more over time.
