WELCOME
Welcome to One Voice (Cornwall), a charity dedicated to making a positive impact on mental health through power of music and community.
​
Our journey began in October 2023 with the incredible success of Shower to Stage, an event that not only raised funds for mental health charities in Cornwall but also sparked a remarkable transformation with our choir members.
The experience of singing in harmony proved to be a powerful catalyst for improving mental wellbeing, with countless testimonials attesting its life-changing effects.
​
Alarming statistics reveal very high rates of self-harm and suicide in Cornwall. Every four days, a life is lost in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, a trend that sadly continues to rise.
We now operate three inclusive choirs in Cornwall providing welcoming spaces for people to come together and experience the therapeutic benefits of music. We also continue to raise funds to support mental health through therapy in Cornwall.
​
Join us in our mission to create a harmonious community where mental wellbeing is nurtured and supported.
Together we can make a difference - one voice at a time.

​
As a choir, we provide performance opportunities that benefit people experiencing social anxiety or mental health challenges. One Voice also makes grants to other charitable causes to help people access support for any mental health issue.
​
We are proud to use our music to raise awareness, bring people together and improve the lives of people in Cornwall through music and singing.
What will you do as a charity and how will you help people with their mental health?
Our mission is driven by the belief in the power of music and social interaction to alleviate social anxiety and mental health issues.
Here’s how we aim to fulfil our objectives:
​
1. Singing activities and choir formation
We provide opportunities for individuals suffering from social anxiety and mental health issues to participate in singing activities. Throughout the formation of choirs and the presentation of public concerts, we create a supportive and inclusive environment where individuals can engage with music as a means of expression and connection.
​
2. We also provide grants for access to one-to-one therapy
Recognising the importance of professional therapy in mental health treatment, we offer grants to other charitable organisations who provide access to therapy services. These grants ensure that financial constraints do not hinder anyone from receiving the support they require for their mental well-being.
​​​​
At One Voice (Cornwall), our vision is to build an inclusive charity where everyone is empowered to reach their full potential. We strive to anticipate and address the diverse needs and circumstances of individuals, fostering a welcoming environment where all members can thrive. Through our collective efforts, we aim to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those affected by mental health challenges, promoting healing, connection, and resilience within our communities.
