CALM returns as our official charity partner
We’re delighted that Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) returns as our official charity partner for a second year. CALM will once again present conference sessions on music’s role in supporting mental wellbeing.
Last year CALM gave us some of the most memorable moments of the programme. These included a keynote conversation with Melanie C and a panel with Ed O’Brien and singer-songwriter Nadine Shah about the profound impact music can have on people’s lives.
Simon Gunning, CEO of CALM, said: “We’re incredibly proud and grateful to be returning to The Great Escape for a second year. CALM meets people where life happens, and music is that place. The festival gives us a vital opportunity to champion music’s power in suicide prevention, and the profound, positive impact artists and their art have on their fans.”
