Ema Quinn

Choir With No Name Liverpool
Women Making a Difference – Winner

Ema Quinn is the Choir Manager for the Choir with No Name (CWNN) Liverpool, which involves people who are affected by homelessness or otherwise marginalised. The CWNN Liverpool is a supportive family where a conventional one may not exist. By singing together and sitting down to enjoy a hot meal once a week, its members build the support network and self-confidence needed to move away from homelessness long-term. The choir is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year and Ema has managed the choir since joining six months after it was established. In that time, it has welcomed 391 people and performed +150 gigs. Ema has touched every single person. She goes far over and above the remit of her part time role, with many choir members saying that her compassion, empathy, practical, problem-solving nature and willingness to help has saved their lives. Ema also runs GoodGym Liverpool, a group of local residents who run, walk, or cycle to help out community projects and older people.
