Carers Ukulele Group

Our Carers Ukulele group meets on a Monday each week during term time only, between 9.30am - 10.30am at our Wellingborough office.

New members are always welcome

We are unable to provide transport, but are hoping to organise a car share system. Please do not let transport be an issue for you or stumbling block, as we will be as resourceful as possible.

The Choir & Ukulele continue to be fantastic projects with Carers reporting a real lift in their mood. Research shows singing can help us breathe more easily and generally promote better self-esteem and wellbeing.

Our Carers Choir follows the Ukulele Group, meeting between 10.45 - 12.15 - if you like you can do both.

If you would like to discuss attending our Choir or Ukulele Group further, please contact us.
