I struggled with asthma before. But after Covid (over a year ago) my breathing worsen, including persistent cough. I find that after attending the choir my breathing is a lot better. I’m less often out of breath. It’s also great being a part of something. I’m not the best singer, but I really enjoy singing. And I feel I can do it with the conductors coaching. I look forward to this the whole week! It’s the highlight of my week!

Thank you! I wish this had been the first part of my long covid treatment rather than the last! It has made the most difference!

The ABC course came at just the right time for me having been diagnosed with Asthma as an adult following Covid. The course was inclusive, informative and friendly. The materials supplied with the course made it easy to practise the exercises in short periods of time. As well as helping with healthier breathing to manage asthma, the breathing exercises also provided opportunities for mindfulness. Thank you to all at Voices of Hope who make these courses happen.

I thought the set up of ABC was really well done. The combination of breathing exercises with creative/art 'therapy' was lovely. It made it less like a chore and much more playful. Exactly what I needed!

Thank you so much for the Active Breathing Course. It makes me feel that I can do something to improve my condition where before I felt I had no control over it whatsoever. Our tutor, Adassa, was delightful and the other members of our group were encouraging too.
