Are you a passionate and creative communications expert with experience in the charity sector, excellent relationship-building abilities and a crafter of persuasive and powerful story telling that resonates with a variety of audiences? Can you deliver compelling communications and campaigns to help increase our income generation and raise our profile with potential supporters and champions? Do you want to be part of a dynamic, ambitious, joyful organisation? Then this could be the role for you!

We are going through an exciting growth phase at CWNN with new choirs launching and an ambitious strategy to increase our choirs across the UK from six to thirty by 2033. We are investing in our fundraising and comms function to grow our income in line with our bold strategy and delivery plans.

About us 

The Choir with No Name (CWNN) has been building supportive choir communities involving people impacted by homelessness and marginalisation since 2008. We were founded on the premise that singing makes you feel good; it is a welcome respite from the challenges life throws at you, and helps build confidence, skills and genuine, long-lasting friendships.

“I’m so happy to have found CWNN. It’s made such a difference to me. I’ve broken a 25-year cycle with drugs and honestly, I don’t think I could have done it without the choir. I’m not existing anymore, I’m living, and that’s huge.”

- Richard, choir member
