Sounds Better CIC runs the Salisbury Breathless Singers group for those living with lung conditions, which meets on a Tuesday afternoon in Wilton and also provides the option to join online.
Liv McLennan, director of Sounds Better CIC, said: "I’m so pleased we have been shortlisted for this award; our group has been running for several years now and I’m proud of the progress our group members have made.
"It’s great to be recognised for this. There are so many brilliant community groups in Wiltshire so with so much tough competition it means even more to have been shortlisted."
Sounds Better CIC also runs six-week introductory courses in partnership with Salisbury’s Parish Nurse at various venues around Salisbury and simultaneously online via Zoom.
