A SINGING group for people with breathing problems is meeting weekly to try to improve members’ health through song.
Sing4Breath was formed in 2014 for those living with COPD and attending the local pulmonary rehabilitation programme.
COPD or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease is the name for a group of lung diseases which cause breathing difficulties.
The choir, with members from across Worcestershire, is giving local COPD sufferers the chance to do something they never thought they would be able to do.
Sing4Breath is based at The Old Elizabethan’s Cricket Club, Droitwich Road, Worcester, and meets every Thursday during term-time between 10am and 11.30am.
Members attribute positive changes in their health to singing in the choir.
The keen choristers are led in exercises and techniques to improve their breathing patterns as well as practising songs.
Members have improved their breathlessness, quality of breathing and general health as a result of the sessions.
The sociable singers also enjoy meeting new people in an environment free of scrutiny.
Members with or without breathing issues will be given a warm welcome.
