Families of service personnel move around frequently and it can often be tough to put down roots or make new friends, which can leave women feeling isolated, particularly when loved ones are away for long periods of time.

Research shows that singing in a choir alleviates stress and contributes to an improvement in isolation, anxiety and depression. The Military Wives Choirs therefore have a vital role to play by bringing women in the military community together to sing, share and support one another.

There are over 2,200 women with a military connection in the 75 choirs based across the UK and in British military bases abroad, including Cyprus, Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands and the Falkland Islands.
