Feel Good Fortnight: A Musical Journey for Mental Health

Over the past two weeks, The Stage Door Choir has been on a truly uplifting journey during our Feel Good Fortnight. We've raised an amazing £246 for Mind Charity. This organization is close to our hearts and does vital work in mental health support.

The Power of Community Singing

This fortnight wasn’t just about singing. As a community choir passionate about mental health, it was about connection, joy, and the deep sense of community that music brings. Together, we explored the many benefits of singing together. These include improved mental clarity, reduced stress, and a stronger sense of belonging.

Our focus was on breathing techniques, mindfulness, and the joy of harmonizing as one. Our sessions became little pockets of peace and energy each week.

A Special Anthem

At the heart of Feel Good Fortnight was one very special song: “You Will Be Found” from the hit musical Dear Evan Hansen. This powerful anthem became our musical and emotional anchor. It carries a message that deeply resonates with our purpose — you are not alone.

“You Will Be Found” speaks directly to anyone who has ever felt isolated or unheard. The song begins in quiet vulnerability and builds into a soaring emotional chorus. It feels like a group hug in musical form. It’s about reaching out, being seen, and knowing someone is there for you. These themes align closely with Mind’s mission and the healing power of music.

A Shared Experience

Learning this song together wasn’t just a vocal exercise — it became a shared experience of vulnerability and strength. As our voices blended and our confidence grew, so did the message: You matter. You belong. You are not alone.

Throughout Feel Good Fortnight, we witnessed the magic that happens when people come together in song. We left rehearsals lighter, more grounded, and most importantly — connected. Whether it was a first-timer nervously joining in or a long-time member harmonizing with a full heart, every voice contributed to the energy that made this fortnight so special.

Fostering Community Spirit

We are incredibly proud to have raised £246 for Mind. Even more than the funds, we cherish the community spirit that grew stronger with every note we sang. Music has a unique way of uniting us, and this experience highlighted that truth.

Thank you to everyone who participated, donated, and supported us. Here’s to more music, more connection, and more feel-good moments in the future.

In Loving Memory

This fortnight's rehearsals were held in dedication to the memory of Guy Eastwood, a remarkable young man, Liverpool FC supporter, and cherished brother, son, grandson, and friend. His spirit motivated us to come together and make a difference through music.

The bond we shared during this time truly embodied the healing power of song. We look forward to continuing this journey, fostering mental health awareness, and spreading joy through our collective voice. Together, we can ensure that no one feels alone.
