Sing for Good raises awareness of loneliness. It is a global epidemic that impacts every single person and leads to mental and physical health issues and economic disadvantage. Itâs impact is every greater for people already experiencing disadvantage and more than 2 in 5 people feel socially isolated and unheard.
We use singing because it is our common, universal language and has been proven to break down the barriers between people, improve mental health and general wellbeing.
Â
This year, we are organising a campaign to bring people together and raise money to help the isolated and lonely.Â
Be part of Sing for Good to create happier, healthier and more inclusive communities where everyone is heard. Our goal is to get an entry from every postcode in Australia!
By donating you are supporting people dealing with depression, disabilities, unemployment, homelessness, domestic violence, isolation, ageing and migrant status to feel a sense of belonging and connect to their community through the With One Voice social inclusion and community wellbeing program.
The campaign is open until late October. You just need two or more people to sing any song, put it on our website and share with your friends. If we all share around, plenty of money can be made for lonely people! Other charities and not-for-profits have the option of raising funds for their own causes as well, with 75% of all donations toward the charity/NFP's submission going toward their cause.
