</div>
<div>Using the arts to support mental health &amp; community. Cheeky Fest uses the creative and performing arts to help people manage their Mental Health and support themselves by doing what they love.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why This Matters</strong>
</div>
<div>At Cheeky Fest we recognise the connection between creativity and mental health. In May 2019 I lost a close friend and musician I used to play with. He died by suicide after struggling with bipolar disorder. I have also struggled with depression at various points in my life.

<div class="youtube-replace"><br />
</div>
<div>This experience strengthened my commitment to supporting people through the arts, listening to their stories, connecting them with others, and helping to reduce stigma around mental health.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How Cheeky Started</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Cheeky began as a Facebook group in January 2013 to help musicians connect and promote themselves. Over time it grew across social platforms and through interviews with musicians and entrepreneurs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After an accident in 2011, I wanted to organise an event to fundraise for London Air Ambulance, who rescued me and took me to hospital. I also wanted to support Nordoff [and] Robbins, a music therapy charity — something meaningful to me as I received music therapy myself as a child. Cheeky Fest was born from that idea.
