The choir for people affected by mental illness
London-based 'More Than Just a Choir' is a community choir whose members are adults affected by mental illness, and the music they sing is based around the theme of loneliness.
Its director, David Phelops, said the choir's purpose is to gather people who have "not just suffered mental illness" but also for those "affected by it, either carers, friends or family".
He said you "don't have to be anything [you're not]" at the choir as there are "no expectations".
