Homeless Choir 24 Dec 2008
'Marie Benton conducting The Choir With No Name'
Supporting disadvantaged people through music

The Choir with No Name is Britain’s first ‘homeless choir’, made up of people who have no permanent home or who have only recently been housed. It was founded on the principle that singing makes you feel good, and can help build confidence and provide a social network for people who find themselves on the fringes of society. Jenni talks to the choir's founder, Marie Benton, and to choir members Stacey Skinner and Adel Tuzani about the impact the choir is having on their lives.  And The Choir with No Name sings some Christmas favourites live in the studio.
