THE CHEYNE GANG
'Sing to Breathe'
The Cheyne Gang is dedicated to transforming the lives of people living with respiratory conditions through the power of community singing. Our welcoming ‘Sing to Breathe’ groups help people with long term respiratory conditions gain control of their breathing, reduce anxiety and isolation, and improve quality of life.
“Singing isn’t just fun—it’s good for breathing control and your general wellbeing,” explains Anne Ritchie, The Cheyne Gang Co-Founder. “Research shows that singing can help people to learn to control their breathlessness, breathe more efficiently and become more confident. It is also a bit of a workout – singing is a whole-body event, it can lower heart rate and improve mood. Importantly it also makes people feel more connected and supported.”
