Our values

Family

Many of our choir members describe their choir as their family.  We aim to look after each other, and we retain our family feel through all of our work, including with external stakeholders and supporters.

Fun

Belting out classic tunes, sharing delicious food and finding somewhere to leave our troubles at the door is what we’re all about.  We want to empower our choir members to achieve serious change in their lives, but without taking ourselves too seriously!

Inclusion

We are a warm and welcoming organisation and we want to be equally welcoming for everyone, regardless of background, characteristics or idiosyncrasies.  We want everyone involved in the Choir with No Name to feel they belong in our community.

Integrity

We will be fully transparent in all our work.  We won’t claim to have more impact than we do.  We will work hard and strive for excellence and ensure that the wellbeing of our people is central to all our decisions.
