flooding. I felt the need to stay in my
room and hide away. I isolated myself
and when we were evicted from
that house, too, my dad and my two
younger sisters moved into a place
for single parents with children. I felt
betrayed as the accommodation
didn't accept people over 20.
'When I moved into a hostel - that
was hell - I was referred to Crisis (a
charity for the homeless). One of
the Crisis employees volunteered at
Choir with No Name and invited me
along one night. I've never looked back.
'Going to choir got me out of my
hostel and brought me out of my shell.
I've made a lot of life-long friends and

build bridges with my dad - he even
comes to choir gigs. It's fantastic.'
Choir with No Name runs choirs in
London, Liverpool and Birmingham.
