Help Musicians UK want to know about your needs and the challenges you face, so that they can design their support services based around what’s important to you.

Take their survey.

The survey closes on Sunday 8 September 2019, and those who enter can opt into a prize draw to win a £50 Amazon voucher.

Want to do more?

Help Musicians UK is hosting a focus group of musicians and music creators in London on Monday 16 September, to discuss mental health and wellbeing in music in more detail.

You can register through the survey, or find out more by emailing Kezia Racher, Help Musicians UK Programme Development Manager.
