What are we trying to acheive?

We aim to break down stigma’s associated with mental health, encourage people to talk about mental health issues and to encourage people to seek help. Through our partners, and events we promote the use of music as a mean for people to express themselves and talk to talk about some of their feelings. Music was one way in which Sam truly expressed herself, which is why we are passionate that it’s such a big part of the trust.
