Sidney de Haan Research Centre for Arts and Health.

We examine the role that participation in creative arts activities, particularly singing and dance, may play in promoting wellbeing and good health.

We are committed to researching the potential value of music, and other participative arts activities, in the promotion of wellbeing and health of individuals and communities, and continues to build the case for Singing on Prescription. We have shown that group singing has positive benefits for people with enduring mental health issues and people with COPD and dementia and their carers.
