We know that when parents feel listened to, valued, and empowered they are better placed to offer support to their children.

Support for Parents includes

Cancer Fund for Children’s ‘Care Free Choir’ supports families impacted by cancer and is also open to our staff and volunteers. The Choir is a place for connection – for families to feel less isolated, to gain confidence, to enhance family relationships and to develop opportunities for personal and group success.

Studies show that choral singing improves our mood. Singing can help decrease stress, depression and anxiety. These benefits are enhanced in a group setting, compared to singing alone. Singing in a group offers a sense of belonging to something bigger than ourselves. It helps us feel that we are needed by the larger community; and this is even more relevant, as all members are impacted by cancer. The choir has become a community; a place where people feel better connected; feel supported and feel empowered.

The choir meets fortnightly on a Wednesday from 6.30-8.30pm at Dundonald Presbyterian Church.
