Open Minds

[Mark]

Hello,

I was recently sent the information from the Open Minds project based in the UK, they are looking for new ideas to promote healthy awareness for people with mental health issues. They are open to many different action-method approaches.

Best wishes and hope everyone is enjoying summer.

      We are looking for people with ideas for innovative projects, that will challenge negative attitudes about mental health where they live. It could be anything from an awareness raising drama, to a media campaign, to a local support group, If it addresses discrimination in a positive way, we want to enable you to put your plans into action.

      Our programme of project support provides

        a.. One-to one support from our expert team of Regional Co-ordinators 
        b.. Training to explore discrimination issues and to further develop your ideas 
        c.. Help with expenses of up to £5000 
      We will be supporting 2 projects in each of England's eight regions. We welcome applications from groups and individuals from all backgrounds, whether you are already carrying out anti-discrimination work or just starting out.
