Everyone needs a safety net. Stockport Mind is that safety net for many people. They need our help, and they need it now.

From Stockport Mind:

"Since this situation came about, at times our helpline has been non-stop, with many people who have never contacted us before ringing in crisis, as well as those we know. Outbound calls to those we already support have gone up 68%, with a 63% increase in length of time spent on calls.

But our financial position has become precarious overnight, so we are now urgently in need of support to meet this growing demand. We had budgeted for £3000 income from fundraising activities every month, funding vital functions such as our telephone helpline that saves lives, but this has dropped off very quickly."

Safety Net 19 is a collaboration between singer-songwriter Taylor Giacoma and producer Mark Allen, to be released 17 May 2020. Safety Net was originally released June 2018 as a vocal/piano piece written by Taylor Giacoma. Mark Allen has breathed new life into the song by adding some production magic from his studio Benchmark Productions in East Nashville, Tennessee. Taylor writes:

"The title Safety Net 19 has been chosen out of respect for the amazing people all over the world, particularly those working in hospitals, who are helping others. The outbreak of COVID-19 has turned our world upside-down in ways we never imagined; causing pain, death, and heartbreak everywhere we look. But it has also challenged us to be there for one another like never before, and it is this togetherness that will help us through. We all must now be safety nets - for each other."
