What we do
Amplify, collaborate, educate, invest, signpost.
Amplify
There are amazing charities, organisations and experts who currently deliver health services in the music industry and there are many music companies who have dedicated time, energy and money to developing their own well-being programmes. The Point One Project is a champion and advocate for these existing initiatives, capitalising on existing expertise to extend their reach and strengthen their impact.
Collaborate
Through innovative collaborations with entrepreneurs, businesses, and partners, we can take the Point One Project’s funding, resources and initiatives directly to those who may be in need of support. Whether it’s a partnership with an app, a membership body, or another part of the music ecosystem, we know we can have greater impact and reach by working collectively to safeguard the health of the sector and drive positive change.
Educate
Mental health is not and cannot be considered a conversation for grown-ups only. We need to normalise conversations about mental health in the music business and, for the Point One Project, this means engaging with the next generation of talent in our sector. We will work with education providers to ensure young people are better equipped to manage a career in music and to know who to turn to for support at a difficult time.
Invest
Through the Point One Project Fund, we provide financial support as well as strategic support through our knowledge, insight and experience to existing mental health initiatives to ensure that help continues to reach those in need in all corners of the UK. We act as an incubator for start-up and early-stage health programmes – a catalyst tool for the development of unique projects to further support the music sector.
Signpost
The Point One Project website will continue to build, curate and bring together a wealth of information on existing resources to help keep individuals informed and others from reaching crisis point. Point One Project will offer a full suite of signposting for people at each stage of their mental health journey – from good to average, poor and clinical. From helplines and online tools to events and support groups, we aim to centralise the most useful numbers, names and websites in a single mental health directory, so individuals know where to turn to.
