What is The Sunshine Singers initiative?
The Sunshine Singers is a heartwarming initiative that uses the power of music to bring joy, connection, and emotional well-being to seniors in care settings.
This is more than passive entertainment for residents, it is an opportunity for social engagement and participation with our artists.​
​
In small, dynamic groups, our artists will visit senior homes to engage residents through lively songs and meaningful interactions.
Whether performing in common areas or moving room-to-room for more intimate experiences, the Sunshine Singers aim to create an uplifting atmosphere that fosters joy, companionship, and connection.
​
Visits are approximately 2 hours in length, and we offer options of both common areas and room-to-room visits (for isolated individuals as recommended by staff).
What are the benefits of this program?
For Seniors: The Sunshine Singers provide a joyful escape and a sense of community, helping participants reconnect with their past through music while fostering new, meaningful social experiences.
​
For Artists: This program offers artists an opportunity to use their talents in a meaningful way, bridging the gap between the arts and care. By engaging directly with seniors, they develop their professional and personal skills while making a tangible difference in people’s lives.
How does it work?
The Sunshine Singers are groups of four! We plan to visit 30 locations in the St. John's/Avalon area throughout February and March 2025. Long-term care personal care homes can book a visit by emailing us or filling out our contact form.
