Presentation - SYLO Group
Christine Archer-Lockwood,
Dot Sutherland and Don Allomes made a presentation to the Committee regarding
Sing Your Lungs Out (SYLO).
SYLO is group singing for
people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and other chronic lung
disease. Singing encourages healthy breathing patterns and is beneficial
for general health and wellbeing, but particularly helpful for those with any
type of breathing difficulty. People are referred to SYLO by doctors,
through respiratory clinics and word of mouth.
Christine, a music therapist,
advised SYLO has been in operation since October 2017. Start-up funding
was provided by the Lion’s Club and she recently received a grant from
the Olive Tree Foundation. The balance of funding for SYLO has been
provided out of her own pocket.
Elected Members thanked
Christine for her presentation and suggested thought be given to the best way
for Council to support groups like SYLO who may not qualify for the types of
funding currently available.
