ROOM TO RaNT
Room to Rant is a space where young men can let it all out through rap.
Whether you’ve got stuff on your mind, or just want a place to express yourself, Room to Rant is all about turning what you’re feeling into music that means something. The weekly sessions are led by professional rappers, with a mental health worker in the room too, not just sitting on the sidelines, but as part of the group.
It’s open to young men aged 16-25, including trans, non-binary and gender-diverse people. A lot of the people who come through the door have been through tough stuff – grief, stress, trauma – and haven’t found regular therapy helpful or even accessible. Room to Rant is different. It’s about finding community and feeling heard, all through music. You don’t need to be a rapper or have any experience, just be up for giving it a go.
