Sing for Good Highlights 2014
Thursday, 16 July 2015
Do good. Feel good.
Shower singers, it’s time to shine.
www.singforgood.org
Sing for Good aims to get communities singing for joy in every postcode of Australia and beyond. Let’s have fun, feel good and make a difference to people in need!
1. Sing with a group (two or more)
2. Enter your video
3. Vote, donate + celebrate
Sing for Good is not a talent show. It’s all about fun and inspiration. Families, workplaces, schools, sports teams, choirs … everyone is welcome!
There are heaps of categories for all these groups and more, plus cash prizes for schools.
Winners are announced at the With One BIG Voice Concert (8 November, Melbourne Town Hall) and selected videos screen at Federation Square.
Donations raised help people in need through Creativity Australia’s inclusive With One Voice program, which builds supportive communities through song in three states. Other charities/non-profits are invited to use this project as a joint fundraising platform to support their causes.
Swinburne University research showed 98% of With One Voice choir participants experienced less stress, 91% improved social bonds and 66% feel less depressed. The program has also been named in Anthill’s SMART 100 social innovations in 2015, 2014 and 2013.
With One Voice welcomes people aged 9 to 90, from all cultures and backgrounds. Through the Wish List, diverse people grant each other wishes like music lessons, language tuition and jobs.
Did you know neuroscience proves singing makes us happier, healthier, smarter and more creative?
There are a lot of lonely people in our communities. Their isolation leads to anxiety and depression, unemployment and so much more.
With One Voice empowers people to care for one another, instead of relying on top-down, siloed social welfare services.
You too can help turn lives around. Join the fun of Sing for Good.
