The Southsea Community Choir

Please see Facebook for more information

Established in 2007 by Janet Ayers, the choir now performs two concerts a year and Sing for Water Portsmouth, plus various busking performances locally, raising money for local and national charities.
We sing songs from all over the world, in lots of different languages, plus English, all unaccompanied in 4 part harmony. Songs to celebrate the passing of the seasons of nature and the seasons of life.
The choir is open to anyone who wants to sing, no audition and no experience necessary, just the willingness to jump in and have a go.

Sylhet District Association

The Royal British Legion (Portsmouth South Branch)

We have a number of teams working with GP Surgeries specialising in Social Prescribing, Health Coaching, and Care Coordination. We work with people to find out what is important to them, linking them with all the great things they want to do that will have a positive impact on their physical and mental health.

The YOU Trust employs a range of skilled workers for our Social Prescribing. Such as:

Social Prescribing Link Workers
Care Coordinators
Health Coaches
They are employed on behalf of some innovative GP Practices. These are based inn Portsmouth & South East Hampshire. However, other GP practices employ their own Social Prescribers directly. If you are a patient and would like to speak to a Social Prescriber, then please ask the receptionist at your GP surgery to make an appointment.

Tonic Music for Mental Health is a charity based on the south coast of England. We promote good mental health through music. We already have a proud history and have helped many isolated and vulnerable people in our community.

Tonic Music for Mental Health runs two programmes.

Recovery Through Music:

​The Recovery Through Music programme provides safe and supportive environments for people to come together, learn new skills, get creative, and make new friends.

The free-to-attend programme comprises a Music Jam and Vocal Groups. We support people both within and outside of mental healthcare services. Tap here to get involved!

We also collaborate with the NHS and local authorities to provide music workshops further afield. ​Tonic services complement the traditional support provided by public sector mental health services.

Tonic Rider:

The innovative Tonic Rider programme promotes good mental health in the music industry by providing bespoke training and support to music industry professionals, both remotely and at venues.

Many people working in the music industry experience mental health issues. They can be brought on by the highs and the lows, the touring, the late nights, and the lifestyle. The industry can be volatile and competitive, with no financial security. This leaves music industry professionals vulnerable to developing mental health issues.

Tonic Rider addresses this by providing mental health-related training and support, tailored to the music industry. Our training and support include a Peer Support Group, Mental Health First Aid training, mental health guides, Tonic stands at festivals and events, and various other groups, workshops and courses.
