Key Changes

🎵 “Music saved my life.”

We hear this often — and we know music can create connection and hope for the future.

Making Liverpool More Liveable is a suicide-prevention music mentoring programme for boys and men across Merseyside, particularly those experiencing mental health challenges, emotional distress, social isolation or increased suicide risk.

Through professional studio sessions, artist development and peer-led wellbeing support, participants:

Write, record and produce original music
Build trusted relationships with mentors and peers
Express difficult emotions through music
Strengthen confidence, resilience and a sense of purpose

Delivered through professional recording studio sessions in Liverpool, alongside weekly online artist development sessions with music industry experts and peer-facilitated Musicians’ Wellbeing sessions, the programme is designed to reach boys and men earlier — before distress develops into crisis.

A major thank you to the Mark McQueen Foundation and the Community Foundations for Lancashire and Merseyside for making this work possible.

Music can be more than an outlet. It can be a route back to connection and hope.
