My Story...

Callum Richards | Founder

Safe & Sounds started from my own experience.

After struggling with my mental health, and then going into schools with my band to talk about it, I kept coming back to the same thought, there has to be more ways to reach people.

Those moments showed me how important the conversation is, but also how limited it can sometimes feel. Information is often shared in one moment, but real understanding, connection and ongoing support can be harder to access. Across communities, people of all ages are often left trying to navigate things on their own, not always knowing where to turn or what support exists.

I wanted to create something that changed that. That’s where Safe & Sounds began.

More than a magazine.

Safe & Sounds is a new community magazine and platform focused on mental health awareness, trusted support and community wellbeing.

It brings together real stories, practical guidance and accessible information to help people better understand mental health and the support available to them.

At its core, it’s about helping people feel heard, access valuable information, and to build a happier, more confident community.

The power of music.

Safe & Sounds highlights the importance of community connection. Local music and events play a key role in this, by creating opportunities for people to get out, meet others and share experiences in real life away from screens.

Music in particular helps open conversations naturally. It brings people together, creates shared moments, and gives people a way to express themselves when words don't.

Music act as a powerful way of bringing people into those conversations in a more natural and accessible way.
