This is such an uplifting read. It's a powerful reminder of the importance of mental health support and why our work with Mind in Tower Hamlets and Newham, using African group music-making to enhance wellbeing, is so close to our hearts. Huge thanks to the Mercers' Charitable Foundation for supporting this journey. The Guardian
