Voices of Hope a local charity in South-west London have requested that Euphonix publish details of their services on the Choir's website. Euphonix has no associated with Voices of Hope, I think recently formed from information on their website (www.voh.org.uk). They are asking us to publish their Active Breathing Course for people suffering Long Covid and other breathing related issues on our website. They also seem to be involved with or run local choirs (including singing in local residential homes and working with Kingston University). Maybe they might be a candidate charity for us to support at the Summer Concert. Has anyone heard of Voices of Hope
How to start a community choir

Inspiration:
The Choir with No Name runs choirs for homeless and marginalised people.
Information from their website: We’re a diverse bunch of folks; all genders, all colours, all ages - everyone is welcome. We sing pop, rock, soul, gospel, reggae, musicals... you name it, we’ll give it a go... although we’ve yet to try any thrash metal or grime. We have four choirs: in Birmingham, Liverpool, our recently merged London 'superchoir' (run in partnership with the Charity Look Ahead) and Brighton (run in partnership with Brighton Housing Trust). Each choir gets together to rehearse every week (with a decent dinner at the end of rehearsal!) and we perform regularly. We were founded on the premise that singing makes you feel good; it distracts you from all the nonsense in life and helps you to build up your confidence and abilities.
