This song showcases the incredible efforts of unpaid carers in our community, who should be celebrated for everything they do for others π

Back to where it all began π‘ 4 years ago, String of Hearts started as a seed of an idea after getting together with older adults in our town centre.
Yesterday we enjoyed going back to Sale town centre with one of our groups to write a new song all about our community π
