Listen to the songs that were played by
Tameside Voices. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the camera is not pointed at the choir until later and hence sound quality was not as good as we would have liked for first 3 songs. But the songs were so beautifully sung that we can still cherish them.
Here is Sylvia present a poem entitled Christmas Markets which she has written to raise funds for Dementia.
Listen to Ingrid Brindle read out the poem to the audience. This is Health.
Listen to Ingrid Brindle bring the proceedings to a close by thanking everybody who took part and helped to make Health Pledge a success. It's over to you now to make a health pledge and make a difference for you and those around you.
