Music Support, the mental health and addiction charity aimed at people who work in the music industry, has announced that it will launch a new campaign, called ‘You Are Not Alone’, on Monday to coincide with World Mental Health Day.

The campaign aims to spread via social media, industry internal communications and word of mouth that anyone working in music and dealing with addiction or mental health issues does not have to do it on their own. The charity will also use the campaign to ask industry organisations to donate to help maintain its 24 hour helpline and other services it offers.

Since launching in April 2016 – with members of the Music Support team speaking at the CMU Insights conference at The Great Escape the following month – the charity has quickly grown in visibility. This summer it launched its ‘Safe Tents’ scheme backstage at various UK festivals. Robbie Williams also became its first patron in July.

As well as announcing the You Are Not Alone campaign, Music Support has also revealed that it will hold its second ‘Where Is The Line?’ event on 30 Jan. Among the speakers at the event will be Harold Owen of US music industry support charity MusiCares.

You can donate £5 to Music Support now by texting MUSIC to 70660.
