Self-care is so important for your mental well-being and looking after yourself: physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
The Mums from our Community wrote the ideas for this self-care challenge. We have handed out this poster to Mums in our community in a collaborative project with our Local Coop. To acts as either a challenge or ideas of what to do for self-care for themselves. It might also act as a little reminder too.
We’d love to hear if you use any of the ideas or complete the challenge too.

What are the Benefits of Singing?
There are so many benefits to singing! It’s Fun! It releases endorphins and makes you happy, improving your mood. But other benefits include:
- Reducing stress & anxiety
- Helps develop relationships
- Improves Confidence and self-esteem
- Helps you escape
- Helps with sleeping
There are also benefits for your babies & children when you singing too!
Babies much prefer the sound of your voice and prefer it over recorded music – whether you think you can sing or not! It’s music to your babies ears!
- It also helps calm them
- Builds attachment between mother & baby
- Helps with sleeping and feeding
- Prepares their ears, voice and brain for language, reducing the risk of language problems later in life.

“After having my first child I lost a lot of confidence and my anxiety levels increased. Singing & Music has always been an important part of my life and Soul Singers formed as part of my journey of rediscovering who I was after leaving a long career in education. I love working with Mums and their children. The impact of singing is so positive and powerful. It is such a privilege to sing with Mums each week and I love seeing how lifelong relationships have been created through Soul Singers as well as how each Mums confidence improves”
Mary-Jane Saunders – Director of Soul Singers CIC
“I strongly believe that singing and music are good for the soul. After a long day, I am often to be found singing and enjoying a kitchen disco with my two daughters in our house in Bristol. My background is in psychology and education and I have always used music and sung with the children I work with. My experience has shown me how naturally and innately we all respond to music.”
Cath Sands – Director of Soul Singers CIC
“I am a humanistic counsellor in Eastbourne and specialise in mental health. I have a passion for working with people; especially with promoting positive mental wellbeing and working to reduce the stigma around mental health. I feel this is so important with everything that is going on in the world right now, it’s definitely ok not to be ok. I got involved with Soul Singers because I really believe in the ethos of supporting positive mental well-being through singing.”
Laura Lambert – Director of Soul Singers CIC
“I am a busy mum to 2 children and 1 dog. I love singing and have sung in choirs in the past but simply don’t have the time right now. I do sing around the house and in the car but usually get told off by my children for it. My dog doesn’t seem to mind!
I have recently realised that mental health is my passion and so am currently training to be an integrative counsellor. I am very excited to be involved in Soul Singers as I truly believe it has the power to make a positive impact on so many lives.”
Sharon Osborne – Director of Soul Singers CIC
