Become a SITC friend

The SITC Friends scheme offers you the chance to support the important work of the charity, helping us deliver our aims. It’s a very tough time for the arts in the UK, and with less funding available, the generosity of our Friends is, therefore, invaluable in enabling us to continue and develop our work. 

Running our flagship project Creative Minds in Song with mental health service users in the community over a period of 4-6 month costs between £5,000-£6,000, including a programme of 12 workshops. Your contribution will make an immediate impact, whether this goes towards tuning a piano [£80], hiring a local venue [£400 upwards], pay for expert workshop leaders' [up to £275 a day] or costs to document the process and share the impact of the work [1-2k].

  • “This project has given me great hope for the future of de-stigmatising mental illness and given me a fresh new angle on creativity, collaboration, accessibility, and programme curation. I feel inspired to write music and curate concerts with a similarly rich, open-ended and highly emotive approach; and to create more work that leaves audiences with a feeling of hope and transformation, rather than of dwelling in the shadows. Thank you for allowing me be part of such a fantastic, innovative programme!”
