The Beeston Tuneless Choir is inviting residents to a free singalong at Toton Library on Friday 16 May 2026 to mark Mental Health Awareness Week. The event, which takes place from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM, is open to all ages and does not require advance booking.
This gathering coincides with the national Mental Health Awareness Week, which runs from 11 May to 17 May 2026. This year, the Mental Health Foundation has set the theme for the week as Take Action, encouraging communities to participate in activities that support well-being.
The Beeston branch is led by Rachael Elliot Wood with manager Ayesha Thompson and typically holds its regular sessions at Beeston Methodist Church. The group is part of a wider national movement that started in 2016, designed specifically for those who enjoy singing but do not necessarily sing in tune.
According to Oxford University, group singing can provide notable mental health benefits by releasing neurochemicals such as endorphins that help lower cortisol levels. The event is listed on the official Broxtowe Borough Council calendar, and residents interested in more information about the group or its regular meetings can visit the Tuneless Choir website.
