I feel extremely privileged to be able to contribute to the work of the amazing Choir with No Name as one of its trustees. Having sung in choirs for many years I've experienced first hand the sense of friendship, support, enjoyment and achievement that being part of a group, singing together, can bring to its members. CWNN Name does exactly that, and yet so much more.

Now retired, I worked for 40 years developing and managing a wide range of homelessness and support services for voluntary sector agencies and housing associations. I know just how big a contribution the services provided by CWNN can make to its members' lives.

CWNN has ambitious plans to expand its activities, forming more choirs across the UK, and I'm excited by the prospect of playing a small part in that development, alongside the critical involvement of Choir members and staff.
