Music Support Turns 10: Meet The Team
Booth 3
Music Support celebrates its 10th anniversary this year, marking a decade of vital support for people across the UK music industry. The charity provides confidential help to anyone experiencing mental health, substance use or addiction challenges. In the past year alone, it has seen a 71% increase in demand for its services – highlighting the growing need for accessible, specialist support within the industry.

Whether you’re interested in specialist Mental Health First Aid or Addiction & Recovery Awareness training, providing resources for your organisation, finding out more about hosting a Safe Hub at your festival, or to explore partnership and fundraising opportunities, the team will be on hand to chat about how, together, we can build a more compassionate music industry for all.
