There was something truly special in the air on Saturday 18th July 2026, as the Amesbury community came together at The Bowman Centre, Amesbury, for an inspiring evening of music, connection and conversation — all in support of Wiltshire Mind.
The Amesbury Community Soul Singers’ charity and awareness concert was a wonderful celebration of the power of community and the positive impact that music can have on our mental wellbeing. Bringing people together through song, the evening also created a safe and welcoming space for honest conversations about mental health.
And the community’s generosity made a remarkable difference, with an incredible £1,062.21 raised for Wiltshire Mind.
Throughout the event, members of the choir and wider community shared inspirational and deeply personal stories about their own mental health journeys. Their openness and courage highlighted an important message: none of us need to face difficult times alone, and talking, listening and coming together can make a real difference.
There were plenty of smiles and moments of laughter too, with the choir showing exactly what community spirit is all about.
A particular highlight of the evening was the performance of the choir’s very own original single, “Dancing in the Rain” — a joyful song that perfectly captured the spirit of the occasion. The uplifting track is now available to stream and download on all major music platforms, giving audiences everywhere the chance to support the cause while enjoying the choir’s music.
Most importantly, all proceeds from the single are going to Wiltshire Mind, helping support the charity’s vital work promoting mental health and wellbeing across Wiltshire.
The £1,062.21 raised is a fantastic achievement and a testament to the generosity of everyone who supported the event — from the choir and speakers to everyone who attended, donated, listened and shared the message.
The concert demonstrated just how much can be achieved when a community comes together with a shared purpose. From the powerful personal stories to the laughter, music and collective singing, the evening was a reminder that looking after our mental health is something we can all play a part in.
The Amesbury Community Soul Singers have not only created a song — they have created a message of hope, togetherness and resilience.
And with Dancing in the Rain now available to stream and download, that message can continue to reach far beyond the walls of the concert.
