We are Hummingbird is a Mental Health awareness organisation. We are a community of music lovers who have united to spread awareness of mental health by using music as a platform to encourage people to open up and engage in conversation.

Born out of the loss of a close friend to suicide, we needed to see what we could do to help others avoid such heartbreak and help remove the stigma around mental health.

We knew that wanted to try and help stop this from happening to someone else, but we had no idea how to get there. If we were able to help just one person then our goal was complete – but that wouldn’t mean our mission is complete.

We are Hummingbird started as a community who talk, share and find support around mental health under the umbrella of music, we are united by a love of music and a commitment to look after each other and has since grown into the thriving education, training and wellness event company it is today.
