Why they need our service

Tonic Music for Mental Health's mission is to raise mental health awareness, challenge stigma and promote mental wellbeing through music and the arts.

We help people to build their resilience, self-worth and confidence through positive risk-taking, accomplishment and artistic expression.

Many of our participants have previously been admitted to hospital and use Tonic as their way of staying well. Others use Tonic to aid their transition back into the workplace after a period of mental ill health. Many more have made new friends and built a support network through Tonic.

Our services help to maintain our community’s mental wellbeing – preventing hospital readmission and creating a better quality of life. Many are dependent on Tonic services to stay well and continue on their journeys of recovery.

Plan and expected results

The Tonic Arts & Crafts group provides a safe environment for people to learn new skills, build self-esteem, make new friends and build a support network. The therapeutic effect of creativity is well established.

Your kind donations enable Tonic to provide free materials and sessions for anyone who would like to attend. There are a variety of creative projects to get involved with, which can be taken home, sold on our Tonic stands, or used in our displays.
