Music in Mind for Young Adults!

We have just launched our Music in Mind programme for young adults aged 16-24 years old in Westminster!

Mind in Music is a creative digital music production programme. It allows participants to be a part of a social support group, providing users with an outlet for creativity, to build their confidence and skills, and meet likeminded individuals looking to grow through music. We aim to have a positive impact on health and wellbeing by reducing symptoms, relapse rates and creating new life opportunities. Music in Mind is committed to supporting people from all backgrounds and life situations to be able to take part in music activities, from learning an instrument, to mastering a production software, or learning how to DJ.

We’re delighted to announce the launch of a new housing support service for Wandsworth.

The Floating Support service will provide assistance to people with mental health needs who live independently.

The service helps people on their recovery journey to develop the skills and confidence needed to live independently in the community.

Our experienced team takes a flexible and person-centred approach. We aim to ensure our service users progress to living the most fulfilling role they can within society, so support is tapered as service users gain more independence.

About us

In our three boroughs alone we estimate that in an average year over 250,000 people suffer with mental illness. During lockdown we estimate that this figure was closer to 500,000.

We listen to those in need and design and offer clinical and therapeutic services that provide the right support at that point of need. These include counselling, community based recovery projects e.g therapeutic arts and employment skills workshops, mental health in the workplace training, housing support and school and university mental health programmes. During the pandemic, we also created vital services to support key workers.

We support recovery for everyone. Those suffering with mild forms of mental illness and those with complex needs. People with on-going and recurring illness or people who find themselves ill for the first time. Last year alone we recorded that our service users saw a 50% reduction in the impact of their illnesses on their daily lives. Please help us to continue doing this life saving work in our communities in a time where this is more important than ever.
