Events — World Mental Health Day
10/10/2023 until 10/10/2023
Join us for World Mental Health Day at Gracechurch Centre!
This World Mental Health Day, we’re on a mission to break down barriers to make mental health support accessible to everyone.
Kindness on Wheels: We’re taking kindness to the streets! We’ll have a kindness crew on hand, armed with treats and vouchers to make you smile this World Mental Health Day.
Experience Togetherness: We’re excited to be welcoming some fantastic mental health charities such as Mind and Square Peg Activities to the centre. They’ll be creating a safe space for open conversation where you can connect with experts, ask questions, and find the support you or your loved ones may need.
So, join us on October 10th, between 11am and 3pm, and together, let’s make a world of difference on World Mental Health Day.
It’s a day of unity, kindness, and hope, and we can’t wait to share it with all of you!
Take a look at some of the attending charities below:
Acorns Children’s Hospice
At Acorns Children’s Hospice, their dedicated teams provide specialist palliative care for life-limited and life-threatened babies, children and young people and support for their families. This support is offered from their three hospices based in Worcester, Birmingham and Walsall, as well as in the family home and community.
Square Peg Activities
Square Peg Activities was established in 2017 to support children and adults with additional needs as well as their siblings, parents and carers. They run FREE for all Stay & Play sessions, offer FREE tickets for day trips, run after-school clubs and more.
Birmingham Mind
Birmingham Mind’s vision is ‘Better Mental Health For All’ and that people are in control of their lives and this aspiration emphasises the need to build upon people’s strengths underpinned at all times by a well-established recovery approach.
They are by far the largest voluntary sector provider of mental health services within Birmingham and as a consequence have a vast amount of experience within the organisation.
Our Place Support
Our Place Community Hub was formed in 2011 with the aim of bringing vital advice and support services to the Sutton Coldfield community. There are over 20 voluntary groups and organisations that offer support from the Hub, specifically in areas of mental health and wellbeing. With a range of space available for hire, the Hub has over 700 visitors per month.
Age UK Birmingham
Age UK Birmingham offers a range of services to older people and their carers. They cover the whole of Birmingham to offer services such as home energy checks, later life planning, home fall prevention services, information and advice, and much more!
