WHY
VOLUME
EXISTS
Three in four people who die by suicide in the UK are men. Men aged 50 to 54 have the highest rate of any age group, and have done every year since 2021.*
Good help exists, and it works for the people who reach for it. What's been missing is the step before help. The one a man takes without noticing.
The wellness world asks men to borrow a language that was never theirs. volume speaks the one they already know. Musicians talking honestly about life.
By meeting men through artists who already mean something to them, we're creating entertainment with depth that can have a genuine impact on wellbeing, in a format they already use. It isn't a helpline. It's the thing that makes a man open to the idea that help exists.
volume proudly supports CALM.
