Last week, members of the National Citizens Service (NCS), an organisation set up to help learn life skills and give back to the community, were asked to undertake a charity project.

One team of thirteen decided to take on the challenge of writing a song.

The team are students at Writhlington School, and recorded the song in the school’s music studios. The song, entitled ‘No Man’s Land’ under the name Autumn Wave, was written, recorded and produced in just one week.

Speaking on behalf of the group, Yasmin Anstice said: “This song is to raise awareness for mental health. As you may know, it is a very serious issue, and we believe the specific topics of anxiety and depression are repressed, and not enough people talk about it within our community.

“We are working with a charity called Headlight, which is based in Avon and Wiltshire. We want to raise as much money as possible for them, as the work they do is truly incredible – life-changing, in fact.

“It took us one week to write, record and produce the song, and though it may not be of the highest standard, it is something we are all proud of. Within 24 hours, it had already reached over 600 views on YouTube and received lots of positive feedback.

The song is available on YouTube with an accompanying music video, also created by the group, which can be viewed online: www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPKFADQaGb0&feature=youtu.be
