A Liverpool-based choir which helps people who’ve experienced homelessness is to deliver its biggest ever performance thanks to the backing of a local housing group.

Support from the Sovini Group will allow ‘The Choir with No Name’, whose members face challenges ranging from mental health problems to drug and alcohol addictions, to perform at St George’s Hall later this month.

The choir sing uplifting pop songs and aim to build confidence and skills among members, creating an environment where people can form genuine friendships and set themselves on the path to a positive future.

Ema Quinn, choir manager says: “We are delighted to have the Sovini Group supporting our Big Autumn Event. It makes such a difference having a great friend in our corner.

“We provide a space each week for people to leave their worries behind for a few hours and enjoy singing together, and it’s surprising what an impact this can have on people’s confidence and ability to cope in the world.

“With Sovini helping us make this event a great success we can grow that confidence even further and we hope the people of Liverpool will join us on the night to sing our hearts out for a very special local choir.”

Roy Williams, chief executive of the Sovini Group, adds: “We are delighted to support The Choir with No Name Liverpool and the valuable work they do in our community.

“By working with local partners we are helping to combat homelessness and support those affected by it. The choir provides a supportive, fun environment for its members and we want to do all we can to help them.”

The Big Autumn Gig takes place at St George’s Hall on 28 October, with guest performances from the Ukelele Club and the Liverpool Signing Choir.
