Leicester’s SoundCafe have received a generous donation of £10,000 from Paragon Bank PLC to further support the work of the city centre based charity with people who are homeless, isolated and vulnerable.
SoundCafe normally meets every week in the Grand Hall at St Martins House, next door to Leicester Cathedral, and works with those who are homeless or socially isolated by providing a safe creative space to explore, grow and express their artistic talents. Guests listen to and perform music, sing together, and are encouraged to write poetry, prose and undertake arts and crafts.
Due to Covid-19, SoundCafe is unable to provide the usual invaluable daytime activities and opportunity for support to their guests, but the Paragon donation will enable the charity to plan new ways of delivery for the future as they emerge from the pandemic.
