This song showcases the incredible efforts of unpaid carers in our community, who should be celebrated for everything they do for others π
Congratulations to all of the carers for creating this song with @AminaFlute @LucyGeddes1 and thank you @CarersMcr for making it happen!
Carers Week is here, and we're kicking things off with a beautiful song written and performed by unpaid carers.
Thank you to @StringofHearts_, Carers Manchester South, and the Dandelion Community for organising this project.

Back to where it all began π‘ 4 years ago, String of Hearts started as a seed of an idea after getting together with older adults in our town centre.
Yesterday we enjoyed going back to Sale town centre with one of our groups to write a new song all about our community π
@SowtheCity@OddArtsUK@VFTSeditor @HMHCmcr @StringofHearts_ @ReformRadioMCR @rxtheatre π΅We're also funding @StringofHearts_
to deliver an over-50s project across our Independent Living communities. The project is all about using music to connect people, reduce isolation, and improve wellbeing. πΆ
