Funkademia supports CALM

The Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) was launched in the legendary clubs of Manchesters Sankeys Soap in 1998 and in Cream on Merseyside in 2000. In March 2006 it re-launched as a national charity, as a response to the above fact.

CALM uses music as a channel to communicate and reach out to anyone having problems or battling depression by giving them something to identify with and offering somewhere to talk about their problems in confidence. There's a cool website with info about issues like relationships, drugs and debt, plus music exclusives, interviews and challenging articles.
