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.

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
