City Small Charity of the Year Award 2019

We are delighted to have been awarded City Small Charity of the Year award 2019 at the first Voluntary Action Leicester & Leicestershire (VALL) awards ceremony on the 5th November. We were the first charity to be given a VALL award in Leicester & Leicestershire – a really amazing privelege.

Roz Burch, Chair of SoundCafe received the award and said, ‘Its a real honour to have received this award on behalf of SoundCafe. I am so proud of the whole team who put in 120% into each session for our guests.I am equally pleased for our guests that homelessness has been given this attention and priority.’

 

 

SoundCafe Becomes a BMO

SoundCafe has now been granted a Bishop’s Mission Order meaning that it’s recognised as part of the ‘big family’ that is the Church of England in Diocese of Leicester.

In giving the Bishop’s Mission Order, the Bishop of Leicester endorsed and authorised SoundCafe Leicester (SCL) as a distinctive Christian community joining in with the mission of the local Church.
