Connect Community Groups cic
Connect Community Groups, based on the Fylde coast but working across the North West, offers a quality arts programme, through music, art, crafts, film and creative writing, bringing people of all ages and abilities together to be part of a creative and caring community where everyone is welcome and everyone’s voice is valued.
We’re currently fundraising for
Singing by the Sea that will offer free, joyful musical sessions to connect the generations in St Annes, reduce loneliness through the power of music and sharing memories, culminating in an uplifting theatre performance of songs and laughter. To donate please click the link below.
Loneliness and social isolation are challenges faced by many members of our community. Through ‘Singing by the Sea’, we’ll run a series of workshops with our older members, some of whom are living with dementia, and primary school groups. We’ll play and discuss members’ special songs, evoking positive memories and sharing life stories throughout the creative sessions, improving everyone’s confidence and wellbeing in a safe and supportive space. The newly formed group will chat and learn each others’ songs and gradually get to know each other through music and playful activities, creating their unique new playlist of songs and stories to share with each other and then the public at uplifting performances at our local theatre to celebrate their co-produced creative work. A videographer will digitally document the process along the way and produce a powerful mini documentary of the stories to be premiered at the final event forming a legacy to inspire future generational singing projects
