Community singing and mental HEALTH by Charlotte Mendly Our dementia choir stars join vicky mcclure for the nottingham memory walk by Alzheimer’s Society Charlotte Mendly is the Musical Director for the Your Community Choir group. She is a singing teacher and pianist and runs community choirs in Nuthall, Ilkeston and Brinsley. Mindfulness and mental health are such current topics in todays society. Creating the ideal work/ life balance can be a tricky task and so many of us can relate to periods of stress, anxiety and even depression. Finding an activity that ignites endorphins (the happy hormone), is a step in the right direction to taking hold of our mental health. Did you know that singing in a group not only releases endorphins, but also a rather special hormone; oxytocin? This is sometimes referred to as the bonding hormone, and it is the same hormone that aids the social attachment between mother and child. Oxytocin is released when singing in a group, as the unity with the voices creates a sense community. The great thing about community singing is that you gain a whole new singing family, and the release of endorphins and oxytocin are actually just an added extra. So how can I get singing? Look for a choir in your area and give it a go. The ladies from Your Community Choir tell me it’s the better than therapy, and a whole lot cheaper! For more information visit - www.yourcommuntiychoir.com Vicky McClure joined hundreds of people at Wollaton Park to unite against dementia at Alzheimer’s Society’s Nottingham Memory Walk back in September. Joining Vicky in the sea of blue shirts were six members of the acclaimed BBC programme Our Dementia Choir – Ahmed, Betty, Chris, John, Jean and Bernard, who are all living with dementia. The group joined Vicky on stage to greet the enthusiastic crowd, before singing Stand by Me (Ben E King) to huge applause. Vicky then cut the ribbon alongside John and Betty, to get the walk underway. The event was Vicky’s ninth Memory Walk in Nottingham. She is an Ambassador for Alzheimer’s Society. The Line of Duty star completed the Memory Walk with her fellow singers as well as members of her own family in memory of her grandmother, Iris, who was living with dementia before she died in 2015. Vicky McClure said: “There’s nothing nicer than seeing a sea of blue on Wollaton Park! The choir members are true stars, because they are so inspirational. “We want to be in a place where dementia is getting the right funding and we’re closer than ever to finding a cure - which is why I’m calling on people all over the country to join me and many others, by signing up today to take part in a Memory Walk near you.” 94 Please mention ngmagazines when responding to adverts
