Spreading Awareness and Breaking Stigma

Founded by musicians who sought to establish a secure and caring community for fellow artists in need, our organisation offers a range of valuable services. Among our most sought-after initiatives is the Melody Bass Drum (NI), a transformative musical tool dedicated to raising mental health awareness and dismantling stigma. This exclusive instrument is available for bookings at events and performances, serving as a potent emblem of our unwavering dedication to fostering mental well-being within the band's community.

A Symbol of Support

Light of Foot is a non-profit organisation founded by concerned individuals in Northern Ireland and Scotland following a series of suicides. Our mission revolves around fostering mental health awareness and offering support to musicians, creating a safer and more nurturing community where they can flourish.
