A big thank you for signing up to receive our newsletter. We are delighted to share the latest news from The Swan Song Project with you.
Writing A Song With The Swan Song Project Our unique songwriting service is available free of charge to anyone who is terminally ill or bereaved.
Most participants have no prior musical experience or ability, but this is not an issue.
This quote is from someone who wrote a stunning song with us recently:

The Positive Impact Of Our Podcast We love to hear from listeners of our podcast. This lovely comment was left on episode 64 featuring Robert Robertson from the band Tide Lines:
"Thank you guys SOOO much for doing this podcast. You have no idea just how helpful this podcast has been. I really needed to hear some of this...thank you!”
When we started the podcast last year we wanted to provide interesting insights and inspiration into songwriting as well as share stories of bereavement and how music has helped people.
We hope these conversations give a bit of light and comfort to others dealing with bereavement or working on their own songs.
Can you help us to raise funds this summer? Your support will help us to continue providing our songwriting service free of charge to terminally ill and bereaved people.
Swan Song supporters have said:
"I couldn't think of a more deserving charity"
"The Swan Song Project's services reach out to so many in their time of need...we are very pleased to support the work"
We were thrilled to recently receive £2,500 from the Daily Mirror Pride of Britain Fund. It was an honour to be acknowledged for making "a massive difference to communities, especially those who have suffered during the pandemic."
