We run choirs involving people impacted by homelessness, delivering joyful weekly rehearsals with a hot meal afterwards all year round, regular life-affirming gigs and outreach singing workshops to share the power singing together has to make you feel healthier, happier and part of a community.

We are facing a homelessness crisis. Shelter estimate that on a given night in 2024 there were over 354,000 people who were homeless in England - that's 1 in 160 people. Government figures found a total of 327,950 households were owed support to prevent or relieve homelessness after contacting their council for help in 2024. That’s up 5% on 2023. Our choirs provide vital support, community, respite and human connection during increasingly challenging times for growing numbers of people.
Our safe, welcoming, inclusive choirs not only offer people a place to sing their hearts out, but also empowers members to build confidence, forge long-lasting friendships and learn (or utilise existing) skills. We work alongside members to co-deliver choir activities so everyone can take an active role in their choir community, and have even more opportunity for growth, both musical and personal. Combined, this can be the catalyst for someone achieving long-term, positive change in their lives
