We are raising funds to support our choirs involving homeless and marginalised people, as we navigate our way out of lockdown and back to in person, joyful and life affirming rehearsals, gigs and outreach singing projects for some of the most socially disadvantaged people in our communities.

Situation
Homelessness in the UK has been on the rise since 2010. In Dec 2019, Shelter reported 280,000 people in England were without a secure home. According to Crisis, there’s been a continued flow of people experiencing homelessness since the start of the pandemic and an increase in people experiencing homelessness for the first time. We want to be there for people going through a tough time, so that they have the support and a safe, welcoming, inclusive community they need to get back on their feet.
Solution
Our vision is that all people going through tough times find a place to sing their hearts out, beat loneliness, and build confidence and skills through singing. The Choir with No Name is a thriving and diverse community of people who support each other to grow, musically and personally. We address the most common reasons someone might find it difficult to move on from homelessness, such as social isolation, low confidence and lack of skills for work and life.
