We run choirs involving people impacted by homelessness, delivering joyful weekly rehearsals with a hot meal afterwards, regular life affirming gigs and outreach singing projects to share the power communal singing has to make you feel better, stronger and happier.

Situation
We are facing a homelessness crisis. In 2022, 1 in 100 households in England experienced ‘core homelessness’, including rough sleeping, sleeping in vehicles and hostel stays. Forecasts indicate a 20% increase in overall core homelessness in 2024 across the UK due to the deepening cost-of-living crisis. Our choir provides vital support, community, respite and human connection during increasingly challenging times for growing numbers of people.
Solution
Our safe, fun and inclusive choirs not only offer people a place to sing their hearts out, but also empower members to build confidence, forge long-lasting friendships and learn (or utilise existing) skills . We work alongside members to deliver our choir activities so our people can take an active role in their choir community, and have even more opportunity for growth, musically and personally.Together this can be the catalyst for someone achieving long-term, positive change in their lives.
