We believe firmly in the wonder of singing together. Today we welcomed another organisation using the power of collective song to empower, build connection, confidence and joy.
Our guest speaker: Kate Wareham
The Choir With No Name is a unique community choir made up of people who have experienced homelessness or marginalisation. Kate Wareham, their CEO, shared some of the community’s moving stories about how music creates a safe, inclusive space where people find their voices.
Kate has a PhD in music psychology, focusing on music and homelessness. Before Choir with No Name, she worked in community and arts organisations including The Children’s Society, Yorkshire Dance, St John Ambulance and Home-Start.
We were also led through some fun games by our resident Games Master Matt Lockwood.
Our songs
As usual, there were four pop songs performed by our Sunday Assembly London band. They reflected today’s theme.
- Sing – Travis
- Make Your Own Kind of Music – Mama Cass Elliot
- Your Song – Elton John
- Scare Away the Dark – Passenger
And talking of choirs…
