Young women and trans youth in London have been badly affected by the coronavirus epidemic; we are fundraising so that we can support them now and in the future, using the healing power of music-making.

    Situation

    Girls and trans youth are facing a mental health crisis. Research reveals high levels of eating disorders and self-harm amongst teen girls and attempted suicide amongst trans youth, and that young people’s mental health has worsened since the pandemic began. In addition, organisations like ours working directly to support young people’s well-being are facing a significant drop in fundraising revenue from cancelled programmes and events, affecting our ability to meet our core running costs.

    Solution

    We will tackle these issues using the well-evidenced power of music to support positive mental health (see www.marchnetwork.org). We will engage young people in new ways, creating resources to empower them to develop creativity and build resilience, connection and wellbeing in response to the current situation. We will also use this time to strengthen our organisation, investing in our large volunteer community so we emerge prepared to support young people who have been through a traumatic time.
