The Choir with no Name
The Choir with No Name was founded on the premise that singing makes you feel good; it distracts you from all the nonsense in life and helps you to build confidence, skills and genuine, long lasting friendships.

Description

Our choirs wouldn’t exist without our dedicated team of amazing volunteers.

Volunteering at Choir with No Name is a brilliant opportunity to be part of a really supportive group for people with experience of homelessness in our local community, make friends and have fun singing your heart out.

You don't need to be able to sing, you just need to be up for getting stuck in!

The aim of the role is help members to have fun, build confidence, improve skills and well-being, and build a singing community.
