Who is Health:Pitch?

H:P focuses on the intersection of creative arts, mental health, and emotional wellbeing.

We use opera and musical theatre in unique ways and based on purposely chosen and

tested ingredients backed up by academic research to help bring renewed hope and joy to those

suffering emotionally, to tell stories and create safe spaces that

inspire conversation and encourage action on mental health issues.

The aim is to influence both public understanding and professional practice in these areas.

To date we have reached over 10 000 diverse audiences with little/no access to high quality creative art engagement,

and this includes the workforce - despite the proven benefits - across more than 80 health and social care settings

and in isolated communities, online, and increasingly at universities and conferences locally

and abroad, given our pioneering, collaborative and deeply human approach.

Our Fundraising Efforts

We think the best way to connect people is through creativity and humanity.

Our unconventional use of opera in musical theatre has been unique and successful: through our ‘wow’ productions,

interactive workshops and online courses that reach and connect ‘everyone together in the room’,

including those whose lives and minds can be the hardest to reach - and those who care for them.

Many of whom have limited/no access to the arts and are unfamiliar with the operatic voice -

yet stand to benefit so much from this.
