Dear Mary conlon

Thank you for taking the time to tell us of your experience at Kilbryde Hospice Community Choir. I'm delighted that you and your three friends attend weekly and find it great fun. Every Wednesday the spirits of the staff and volunteers at the Hospice are lifted with the energy and songs of the choir so the wonderful feeling sweeps through the building.

Our choir is one of our Drop In services. The choir can help with physical symptoms like breathlessness or as you mention to help improve mental health.

Anna our music therapist, along with our loyal volunteers Eric and Sandra work tirelessly to ensure the choir supports peoples physical and mental health and for that we are eternally grateful. Your post will be a great boost to the staff and volunteers who run the choir so I will be sure to pass this feedback onto them.

I trust you will continue to attend on a Wednesday and hopefully this post will encourage others in a similar situation to give it a try. Thank you again

Kind regards

Margaret Mary Cowan

Clinical Services Manager
