Our core mission is to promote inclusivity and inspiration by building an open-access choir for each project, welcoming singers of all abilities to
participate alongside experienced professional musicians, composers, and artists.
We are dedicated to providing high-quality music education, fostering a vibrant singing community, and creating adventurous work that engages audiences and explores big ideas.
We do our utmost to create projects that include and challenge, responding to creative opportunities that come our way, as well as creating our own, year on year.
The Voice Project offers projects and workshops - uplifting singing experiences which support and creative inspiration. Some of our choir and team members have experienced ill health and bereavement, and find the Voice Project activities a brilliant support in recovery.
Each project is created by the Directors with members of our team of Associate Artists with new music created for each site-responsive piece of choral theatre.
Programme for 2024/25
March to July
Lie of the Land
Major project at Houghton Hall with Antony Gormley’s Time Horizon
Music composed by Jonathan Baker, Sian Croose and Orlando Gough.
Performed by
The Voice Project quintet: Lisa Cassidy (Soprano), Sharon Durant (Soprano), Siân Croose (Alto), Jeremy Avis (Tenor) and Jonathan Baker (Bass). Instrumentalist - Adrian Lever (piano, hammered dulcimer)
The Voice Project Choir
Norwich/ Brighton and online sessions for 120 singers.
Rehearsals were held in Norwich and Brighton and on site at Houghton.
We worked very successfully with the Houghton team, and the whole project was well-run and creatively and organisationally successful.
Attempts to fundraise were not as successful, however. We were turned down for ACE funding, and, despite our efforts, none of the potential private funders came through.
We did, however, break even on the project and audience and participant feedback were very positive.
We did three very successful shows - 2 sellouts and 1 80% attendance, which coincided with the World Cup final.
Also part of our programme 2024/25
Open Voices
A series of popular and well-attended workshops that run throughout the year
Start the week singing
Women’s Voices
Tuning In - Voice and Movement. Sessions in Norwich and Brighton Jazz, Soul and R&B
Men’s Voices
Spoken word
January - March 2025
To Each of Us - Recording Choir
Due to staff ill- health - we needed to scale back our output for the first 8 months of 2025. We decided to offer a recording choir project and rehearsed and recorded the 10 songs for the album ‘To Each of Us’ - songs mainly drawn from the Lie of the Land Project.
Fundraising
We continued to submit funding applications to national and local funders and have recruited Stuart Hobday to support our fundraising programme.
Appeal
We launched an appeal directly after the recording choir project.

Our financial management systems have worked to manage all the variations in income, expenditure and cash-flow effectively.

Associate Artists
We stayed connected with our associate artists Jeremy Avis, Sharon Durant, Lisa Cassidy, Adrian Lever and Orlando Gough, sharing information with our community regarding their other activities during this quieter period.
We continue to offer ‘pay what you can’ bursaries on all courses and projects.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINIER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE VOICE PROJECT LIMITED
I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31[st] March 2025, which are set out on pages 1 to 5.
RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 43 (2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the 1993 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:-
-
examine the accounts under section 43 of the 1993 Act; to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission
-
under section 43 (7)(b) of the 1993 Act; and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S STATEMENT
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
-
• to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities
have not been met; or
- 2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
