I am running a solo 50KM ultramarathon (ft. 1500m elevation) for this…

I’m raising funds to support the next chapter of FaceNoise, a new Sheffield-based choral foundation bringing fresh, dynamic music-making to our city and the Peak District.

Your donation will help us:

Launch the Pro Choir – Sheffield’s first ever professional concert choir, creating world-class performances right here in our community and the nearby region.

Strengthen Pop Chorus – ensuring more people can experience the joy of inclusive, no-pressure singing, with expanded resources and workshops.

Predominantly, establish the Emerging Artists Scheme – the heart of this campaign. This programme will support the next generation of exceptional singers with mentoring, workshops, school outreach, and crucially, paid performance opportunities. We believe artists should be fairly supported as they grow, and this scheme will give them the chance to flourish.

By contributing, you’re helping us create something unique: a choral foundation where community singers, aspiring professionals, and top-level artists all connect, collaborate, and inspire each other. This is the first step on our journey towards becoming a registered charity in 2026, ensuring that FaceNoise can offer sustainable, long-term opportunities for singers across Sheffield and beyond.
