Poster for quote: “They were waiting for a referral to mental health services. And in that time that they were waiting, they started joining the choir. So the choir really sort of filled the gap. And then when they eventually were able to be seen by mental health services, they were able to say, ‘well, actually, we’re doing that in choir. And we’ve been doing these breathing exercises’.” - Merel van Der Knoop, Long COVID choir and Long COVID Kids choir
