Story

For many people with mental health needs, our award-winning Music Industry Recovery Programme is a unique, highly effective treatment approach which enables them to overcome the challenges of their conditions and move forward positively in their lives.

Music can play a valuable role in recovery from mental illness. It can stimulate emotional responses, develop creative, technical, social & vocational skills, improve expression, confidence and self-esteem, and facilitate positive wellbeing. A recent evaluation showed that on average, people's overall wellbeing increased by around 40% after participating in our programmes for 12 weeks - with the biggest increases in feelings of Optimism and Connection.

Throughout the Covid-19 crisis, our awesome music industry mentors have supported artists through professional music mentoring and artist development. Our re-designed music studio is now open but we need your support to ensure we can continue through this challenging period. Thank you for any help, large or small.
