Company activities and impact

During the past financial year, Live The Buzz C.I.C. has actively engaged in mental health education and awareness initiatives aimed at young people and the wider public. Through our YouTube channel and online media content, we have published interviews, storytelling segments, and discussion videos on topics such as resilience, emotional wellbeing, and lived experience of mental health. This content reaches a broad audience and fosters open conversation, reduces stigma, and provides peer support for individuals who may not otherwise access therapeutic resources. Additionally, we organised community-facing campaigns to facilitate connection and psychological insight. Through collaborations with schools and community organisations, we have offered guest sessions, mental health talks, and co-developed resources tailored to adolescents’ emotional challenges. These efforts provide accessible, preventive mental health education and support in under-served communities. This year, my acceptance at Cambridge University to pursue psychotherapeutic training further enhances the reputation and capacity of Live The Buzz. Over time, this will deepen our credibility and allow us to attract stronger partnerships, grants, and reach, thereby expanding our community impact in future years.
