Verified service

FREE to access 8 week short courses for pregnant women and those with babies under 1 funded by Medway Council / Medway Family hubs

At a Singing Mamas group you will learn lovely lullabies and songs to share with your little one in a relaxed and friendly environment.

No sheets of music, no solos and no pressure. You don't need any musical ability to take part.

• Singing Mamas is a national/international non-profit making working for maternal wellbeing through singing.
• Singing is proven to help with stress levels, releases endorphins, stimulates cognitive function and helps forge connections and social bonds.
