The charity runs regular group singing sessions for anyone with a lung condition or who struggles with breathlessness in East Lothian and Midlothian. Sessions are also available online via Zoom for those who may be unable to attend in-person. The sessions commence with exercises warming up the body, breath and voice. These are designed to promote healthy breathing and to help participants manage their breathlessness. We then sing songs which have been carefully tailored to the needs and abilities of the participants of both groups. These songs cover a wide range of styles and genres. some may be chosen by the participants themselves while others have been composed specifically for the groups. We promote the groups and the benefits of singing for lung health through our website www.warblers.org.uk and our Facebook page. Our two song leaders are always delighted to deliver presentations and interactive workshops to local health teams and organisations.

Objectives: The organisation's purposes are: The advancement of health by promoting lung health and general wellbeing through a programme of breathing and singing exercises and songs. The provision of recreational facilities through providing a welcoming fun singing group for people with respiratory conditions. The advancement of education through providing a supportive learning environment to build skills and confidence in singing, and by raising awareness of the potential benefits of regular group singing for people with chronic lung conditions. The relief of those in need by reason of age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage by improving physical and mental health and well being through singing and by reducing isolation.
