Some of Joanne’s achievements include: Singing in televised programmes such as Unexpected Star (Michael McIntyre), Sunday Night at the Palladium (Bradley Walsh), Songs of Praise, and Eastenders; Recorded music with different gospel groups.

She created the first singing programme for Crisis (Croydon), the national charity for people who are homeless and developed the Music Relief Foundation music programme supporting young people and vulnerable adults challenged with issues such as knife crime, mental health, safeguarding, sexual exploitation, and trafficking.
