Singing and music-making can bring a range of physical, social and emotional health benefits. And we can help!
Playing for Cake’s sessions are suitable for all ages and abilities. They help increase physical activity, encourage better breathing, exercise muscles in the head, neck, throat, torso and abdomen, can help increase social interaction, build peer-support networks and help people form new friendships. Taking part can also help build confidence, improve communication/vocals skills and/or musicianship. We also offer a wide range of volunteering opportunities, so you could even get involved with helping us keep on top of the admin if you prefer!
