Pauline Burr is Arts Development Officer for South Somerset District Council, she writes:
“I’ve been fortunate enough to see Goldies in action on many occasions - it really brightens the day for the people who take part. It gets them out of the house and away from the same four walls – which is particularly important for those who don’t have friends and relatives nearby.
“I have also seen people rekindle old friendships and make new friends. The health benefits are self-evident; singing is proven to be good for the heart and whether people get up and dance or just stand and wave their hands in the air, their physical well-being is improved by taking part.
“ The best thing about Goldies, however, is that people really have fun! For the length of the session they forget their problems and their aches and pains and just have a jolly good time!
