Videos – About Us

In February 2016, Music In Our Bones began a 6 month pilot singing project with stroke survivors, we called Stroke Songlines in Stowmarket. Feedback from everyone involved, singing volunteers and members of the group, has been fascinating, really positive and encouraging about the difference singing with others has made to everyone.

This short video, made by the wonderful Stroke Association volunteer Rik Thornton, on you tube says it all.

On March 31 2016 , we were proud to watch Donna Thrower, receiving from Judith Shallow the High Sheriff of Suffolk, a framed ‘Highly Commended’ certificate on behalf of Music In Our Bones, ‘in recognition and appreciation of the positive contribution you have made to your community’ as we came second place in this section. Clearly Donna’s unique and valuable contribution to so many of our projects, and her development as a singing volunteer with us, demonstrated perfectly all that the power of singing with others can do.

In July 2015 we were asked to take part in the making of a 5 minute documentary asking people who used Ipswich library, what made them happy . Music In Mind was chosen and the following film made interviewing Cordelia, Brendan, Ruth and Pam who speak movingly about all that singing with others offers.

Part of the ‘Take Five’ project supported by Action for Happiness and Volunteering Matters about the people who use Ipswich County Library and what makes them happy.
