A new singing programme aimed at rural women in Mid Ulster will begin on Tuesday, October 22 in Moneymore Leisure Centre at 7.30pm.
This pilot programme, developed by the Northern Health and Social Care Trust, will take place over a six month period with experienced music facilitator, Karen Diamond, culminating with an end of season event.
Karen has a wealth of experience in music circles and has worked across many sectors over the years. She believes everyone can sing and brings fun and enthusiasm to all her sessions.
She said: “I’m really excited about this new programme. Each monthly session will provide an opportunity for rural women to connect with each other and through the power of music and song, take some time out of busy lives to enjoy the experience of singing.”
Yvonne Carson, the Northern Trust’s Rural Health and Wellbeing Manager, added: “We are delighted to have Karen on board to facilitate this singing programme. She will bring warmth, vibrancy and effervescence and I know everyone who takes part will thoroughly enjoy them.”
The free programme is open to all rural women in Mid Ulster aged over 18.
No previous experience is necessary, so if you enjoy singing and would like to meet up with other rural women in your area please get in touch by emailing yvonne.carson@northerntrust.hscni.net or ring 07824431175.
Alternatively, just come along on the first night and join in the fun!
