In support of the National Lottery’s Crossed Finger Selfie Day, we’re delighted to spotlight the ParkinSings Choir — a pioneering pilot project delivered here in Wales and funded through our Arts Health and Wellbeing National Lottery Fund. Thanks to money raised by National Lottery players, it’s making a powerful difference to people living with Parkinson’s and their carers across the country.

Survey data from the start and end of the pilot shows clear improvements: participants reported a 20% boost in physical health, a 24% increase in voice control and strength, and 95% felt their vocal ability had improved. An impressive 97% — including carers — reported better wellbeing, reduced anxiety or lower levels of depression.

As one participant said:

“This was unique. We came together and created something wonderful with the only instrument we all possess — our voices. For once we were empowered, and we did it.”

What's one small thing you've done this week to take care of yourself?

Maybe you made soup. Took a nap. Spoke your mind.
Whatever it is - it matters. Let's celebrate it.

Self-care doesn't have to be fancy. Or expensive.
Or even what someone else calls self-care.

It may look like:
✨Saying no
✨Resting before you're tired
✨Journaling your feelings
✨Moving your body in a way that feels good
