and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
Families of service personnel move around frequently and it can often be tough to put down roots or make new friends, which can leave women feeling isolated, particularly when loved ones are away.
With research showing that singing in a choir alleviates stress and improves aspects of mental health, this is where the Military Wives Choirs, of which there are over 70 in military bases across the UK and overseas, come in.

Hide AdLeuchars Military Wives Choir, part of the Military Wives Choirs network, need a skilled teacher and inspiring leader who can make music fun and accessible, promote a culture of support and respect, and allow their members to develop and shine as an ensemble so they can continue to come together to sing, share and support each other.

Rebecca from Leuchars has been a member of Leuchars Military Wives Choir for three years.
She said: “At Leuchars Military Wives Choir, we bring variety to our music, as there is no audition to join, we are all different ages, and we all have different connections to the military.
"We support each other in and outside of the choir, and it gives back far more than we ever anticipated. We sing, perform and even get to record together for Military Wives Choir albums, and we improve week on week, building on our group and personal confidence.
