We are appealing for people to join our ever-growing team of event managers and venues to put on gigs in every village, town and city in the UK. Thousands of brilliant bands and artists have performed for our award winning project since we launched in 2016, raising over £200,000! 

 

We are proud to have some of the biggest and best festivals, promoters and media partnering us again this year! Thanks to all for ensuring MAH continues to flourish and enabling us to offer a huge number of stage opportunities whilst raising funds for homeless services at this critical time.
Homelessness is a shocking national crisis with record numbers of people on the
street or in unsuitable temporary accommodation.
