Due to internal growth we need a new Team member to manage our finances.
About Us
Our mission is to deliver good mental health and recovery through music. Tonic was founded in 2012 as a direct response to the lack of creative support for people experiencing mental health difficulties. It was founded upon the belief that participation in music and the arts can aid you in your recovery from mental illness. From our early events promoting mental health awareness, we now champion mental health action by providing opportunities for people to participate in music and the arts, we directly support them on their journeys of recovery.
