The Choir with No Name
About
The Choir with No Name have been successfully running choirs and building joyful communities with homeless and marginalised people since 2008. We currently have seven choirs: in Birmingham, Liverpool, London, Coventry, Brighton, Cardiff and Sheffield. Our aim is to launch new co-produced choir projects involving people impacted by homelessness across the country in the coming years.
We were founded on the premise that singing makes you feel good; it helps you to build confidence, skills and genuine, long lasting friendships.
What we do is simple: our choirs meet once a week for a cuppa and a catch up, we then sing our hearts out for an hour and half, and sit down together afterwards for a hot meal cooked by volunteers. We perform regularly at a whole load of different places, including local homeless hostels, copmmunity festival and world class venues including Cadogan Hall, Liverpool Philharmonic Hall and Brighton Dome. Our choirs are a supportive, safe space for people going through a tough time to be among friends, where they can experience the joy of singing together, have fun, build confidence and skills, and feel more able to tackle life's other challenges, such as securing housing or finding work.
We also deliver community projects for people at risk of homelessness in each of the cities where we work, motivated by a desire to share the joy of singing with as many isolated and marginalised people as possible (and hopefully recruit a few more choir members along the way!)
