• J• Experlencing homelessness Homelessness in the UK is rarely about just one thing. It often happens when several challenges collide: losing a job, struggling with mental or physical health, leaving care or prison, facing family breakdown or bereavement, dealing with addiction, or having no support network to fall back on. On top of that, a lack of affordable housing and ongoing poverty make it even harder to find stability. The experience of homelessness itself brings isolation, uncertainty, and exclusion, which can deepen the very issues that caused it in the first place. It becomes a cycle that's incredibly hard to break. The Choir with No Name exists to help interrupt that cycle. Singing together each week, sharing food, and being part of somethingjoyful and consistent can be life- changing. It's about more than music-it's about community, connection, and the chance to feel seen and valued. Being in a choir opens up space to rebuild confidence, develop skills, improve wellbeing, and feel included again. It's a simple idea, but one that can have a real and lasting impact.

Following an inspiring introduction gig in October, our fledgling group began with just eight members at the first rehearsal. Birmingham Coventry London Cardiff The growth has been remarkable. Within months, we had engaged with 41 people, demonstrating the genuine appetite for community and creative expression in Sheffield.

Birmingham Birmingham has had a busy year, supported throughout by our friends at the law firm Gowling WLG. Our Festival with No Name brought together local musicians who supported the event for free, raising a record amount for the choir. Birmingham shared the stage with Coventry for their Summer Spectacular, backed by a full band. They also sang at the Homeless Memorial event, marking an important moment of remembrance and solidarity within the wider community. Brighton Our Brighton choir have had lots of exciting gigs this year, including opening the Brighton Jazz Festival, performing at the Interconnectedness Festival in November and singing from the balcony of Brighton's Theatre Royal.

GABRIEL9S STORY I first heard about the Choir with No Name from other people who were already members, and now I've been part of the choir in Birmingham for over 14 years. Choir has given rne so many opportunities- from being an ambassador, to being interviewed on TV and radio, to travelling and gaining access to other music and performinggroups that have helped me grow. My confidence has transformed. Performing, especially solos, has been a huge part of that- being able to put yourself out there and be recognised is powerful. Walking into my first rehearsal was nerve- wracking. At that time, my confidence and self-esteem were at an aLI-time low. But I kept coming back, and slowly things changed and evolved, Over time, I moved from sleeping on the streets to having my own flat, and I've grown so much personally too. Sincejoining choir, I came out as transgender, and the support I've received from the choir community has been incredible. Transitioning on hormones meant my voice changed a lot- l joined choir as a soprano then moved through alto, tenor and now I mostly sing bass. It's been a uniquejourney. I don't know where I'd be without music. It's my passion, my drive, my outlet, my love language. It takes me away from my worries and life's struggles. For much of my life, I felt alone and lonely. But through choir I've built friendships, explored new experiences and found belonging. Through all my personaL circumstances everyone at choir has been so supportive. l just couldn't ask for better people. Being in choir is so fantastic, so vital for my mental health. When l am on stage I feel at home. My worries, troubles and the noise of life, everything disappears, and the moment I step off stage, I want to do it all again. I feel seen and heard. I'm supported, people care about me, people laugh with me, and people include me- l just love these people. io

STRATEGY Our 2024-2027 strategy is focused on four strategic aims: Grow skills & expertise Strengthen our practice through regular reflection and training for members, staff, choir directors, and volunteers. Gpni Build Inclusive communities Empower members with meaningful roles and embed inclusivity at the heart of every choir. Work towards our choir communities matching the diversity of those experiencing homelessness locally We have made progress on each of these aims developing our training programme for staff and volunteers. We have expanded our reach through launching a new choir in Sheffield and building the foundations of new choirs in other cities. We have built on our participation in the Singing in Balance network of universities in Yorkshire, developing ways of sharing our accessible practice with choir leaders nationwide. Expand our reach Through support from the National Lottery,, Community Fund, we have significantly developed our member-volunteering programme, raising the voice and participation of people with lived experience of homelessness at a local and national level. Launch more Choir with No Name choirs across the UK and share our accessible methods with choir leaders nationwide. Secure financial sustainability Finally, we have been working hard to diversify our fundraising, particularly through embedding our choirs more significantly in locaL communities. This has been supported by the appointment of a Development Manager with a focus on individual and corporate fundraising. Invest in fundraising, diversify income, and develop strong partnerships to embed our choirs within their local communities. 14
CAPABILITIES Research and best practice Our CEO leads the development of research at the Choir with No Name. We are building our research capabilities to better understand the impact of our group singing and contribute to the wider conversation around homelessness, inclusion, and community. We have a PhD student, supervised through the University of Leeds, working in partnership with us to explore and evidence the long-term irnpact of being part of a choir particularly how it supports wellbeing, identity, and sociaL connection. We also carry out an annual impact survey across all our choirs, tracking changes in confidence, skills, sense of belonging, and overall wellbeing. By listening closely to members with lived experience, gathering regular feedback, and collaborating with academic and sector experts, we're developing a strong evidence base that shows how creative, community-led approaches can make a real difference. This insight helps shape and strengthen our own work and allows us to share learning and advocate for more inclusive, person-centred support across the UK. Fundraising and Communications A snapshot of our year in sociat media: Our Development team lead on revenue generation, communications and marketing for the Choir with No Name. As we face an increasingly challenging fundraising climate, we identified the need to invest in our fundraising capacity and employed a Development Manager in June 2024, our first full-time fundraiser. This expanded resource meant we could invest more time in trust fundraising while developing and refining our corporate, voluntary income and major donor programmes. While establishing new income streams takes time, this expansion and the hard work of the development team saw us increase our income by 8% year on year, which is particularly encouraging against a difficult economic backdrop. Paired with cautious spending, we finished the year with a small surplus, which will be invested back into the organisation in the next financial year. Instagram reach increased 92% year on year Instagram content interaction increased by 100% year on year I nstagram followers increased by 12% year on year Facebook likes increased by 15% year on year Newsletter subscribers increased by 30 15
ANNUAL ACCOUNTS AND IMPACT REPORT 2024-2025 We ran two public digital fundralsing campaigns utilislng social media and e-newsletters, the Big Give Christmas Challenge and our 100 Heroes appeal, both of which exceeded our income expectation5. 100 Heroes (asking 100 people to raise £100 during the month of March) was a new campaign concept for us and its success in raising over £6k means we will work to establish 100 Heroes as an annual appeal, growing revenue year on year. rovide a &èlicious hot mea for 59 choir members!

FINANCIAL REVIEW 2024-2025 saw a second year in surplus, albeit a modest one, building on the progress in previous years. This was thanks to the hard work of the Development Team who secured £307k in grants from funders including Garfield Weston Foundation, The National Lottery Community Fund and Enjoolata Foundation, and increasing our third party fundraisinglchallenge event income by 200% year on year. We are focusing our expanded fundraising resource on developing new income streams, including corporate and self-earned revenue, as well as establishing recurring challenge events and public appeals to expand our scope for securing voluntary income. Our current organisational strategy is focused on broadening our impact by opening new choirs, but we are doing so carefully, focusing on embedding new choirs within local communities through mutually beneficial partnerships with local organisations to establish stability of income, and to create cost efficiencies where regional choirs can work together and share administrative resource. Expenditure increased in 2024-2025 due to the launch of a new choir in Sheffield, the development of our member volunteering programme, funded by The National Lottery Reaching Communities England programme, and employing two new staff members into our national team. The level of our reserves also provides the charity with security to enable us to mitigate risks associated with increasing costs. We are carefully monitoring ongoing financial risks, including cost pressures and income uncertainties within a highly changeable fundraising climate, to ensure the charity's ongoing financial stability. Income and expenditure Risk Management Incoming resources for the year amounted to £543,39712024: £502,916).

The trustees have reviewed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and systems have been established to mitigate those risks. An organisational risk register is reviewed quarterly, or more often in times of pressing risk. 22
Reserves policy The trustees have considered the level of reserves they wish to retain, appropriate to the charity's needs and ongoing obligations. This is based on the charity's size and the level of financial commitments held. The trustees aim to ensure the charity will be able to continue to fulfil its charitable objectives if there is a temporary shortfall in income or unexpected expenditure. The trustees will also endeavour not to set aside funds unnecessarily. The trustees have maintained a policy whereby unrestricted funds not committed (the free reserves ) held by the charity should equate to between three and six months of the upcoming six months, forecast costs. Based on the 2025126 budget, at 31 March 2025 this range is from £173,327 to £347,129. These figures will be reviewed annually as the charity grows and in response to trustees, ongoing review of risk.
