Our vision is that all people in Leeds and beyond find a sense of purpose and belonging, and gain more control over their own lives. Cloth Cat harnesses the power of music to create community, build potential and transform people’s mental health and well-being. We recognise that many people face challenges with their mental health and wellbeing. The people using our services having a disconnect with their communities and experience a feeling of not belonging due to social or economic inequalities. There is a link between this and poor mental health and well-being, isolation and risk of suicide. Every individual has untapped potential to be happier, healthier, and more productive in life and there is much evidence that access to arts and culture is a vital tool in promoting good mental health and wellbeing. We are an inclusive organisation and listen to what our service users have to say. We have to rely on grants to fund our projects and initiatives, although we are creative and take a collaborative approach where we can to make things happen if possible. Sometimes, this isn’t possible sadly so we encourage you to donate to Cloth Cat if you are able to.
