We strive to raise mental health awareness through our self-employed wristband sellers/merchandise sellers in towns and cities around the UK. By speaking directly with members of the public, we can provide information, provide signposting and answer your questions about mental health.
It really is good to talk about mental health issues. Perhaps you struggle yourself or have a loved one who is suffering? Talk to one of our people out on the street, and maybe purchase some of our merchandise to show your awareness and support.
Our aim is to raise awareness of mental health issues. We do this using the following methods…
- By managing and promoting this website.
- By engaging with members of the public.
- By printing publications and information pamphlets.
- By producing other merchandise.
All of the above cost money, the most expensive of which is the expenses incurred by our people. All have experienced mental health issues in the past, which in many cases has led to unemployment and other issues. We provide them with an opportunity to give something back.
Any profits we make are currently invested back into the cause. With your help, we can produce more merchandise and raise awareness of mental health issues.
