At Help Musicians we see the growing impact of mental health struggles on professional musicians along with multiple other problems they face within their careers. As many are low-paid freelancers their reserves were drained by the pandemic, and debt is a constant worry. Combined with rising levels of anxiety and depression within the industry, we are now seeing an increasing number of musicians considering leaving music altogether. The Big Give can help us meet this rising demand for support.

Music Minds Matter is a sister charity to Help Musicians, offering mental health support for all those who work in music across the UK. It offers direct and confidential support, information and resources to those experiencing mental health difficulties. Through the service you can speak to trained counsellors, who are available 24/7 to take calls and offer confidential advice, as well as accessing online resources to help manage mental health concerns.
