You can find more information about the Charity on its website www.beardedfishermen.org.uk. Music & Mental Health You may wonder "Why?" as a mental Health Charity we set up a community radio station. That's easy, one of the best things to help with mental health issues, depression and anxiety is MUSIC, along with getting out and relaxing. You can find that having something to try and something that you can get out doing is a great therapy, Music is great therapy, the radio station also helps people to get out and do something they enjoy and its so easy to do. Many of our hosts are struggling with some form of mental health issues and they have found becoming a host on the radio has helped them a lot. Getting involved in planning a show choosing the music and talking to people over the air builds up confidence and it is also a great way to meet new people even if just virtually on air or by text into the studio. Why not come along and give it a try you may find you enjoy it.
