The Be Free Campaign is a mental health charity that aims to give people the tools they need to look after their mental health and wellbeing

We're still collecting donations

On the 17th December 2021 we'd raised £10 with 1 supporters in 49 days. But as every pound matters, we're continuing to collect donations from supporters.

We want to open our current premises to the public as a wellbeing centre. Where people can come and partake in wellbeing sessions such as workshops on mental health, crafts, arts, strategy planning and physical wellbeing wellness kiosks. This will allow people to learn, develop and expand their skillbase too. Through this, we hope to target young people and help them thrive within their lives.

We would like to create wellbeing advisers that are present within our premises to help advise, signpost and improve the wellbeing of the community around us. We will be working with clinicians to help train and develop these volunteers. Part of this project also involves using the arts, crafts and creativity to put on events for the community. We have launched and aim to continue our music for mental health project which saw 100s of people coming to see artists and learn about mental health and improve their wellbeing with music. We are now working with artists to provide improvements in mental health awareness and help improve their music aims. Other events include drag nights, art exhibitions and music lessons where people can come together and improve their well-being. We want to be continuing what we have already been doing but also take it one step further through the introduction of wellbeing advisers. This work will benefit thousands of people in the specified areas and will work with the community and our large networks of volunteers to bring people together and with an aim of improving mental health outcomes for all. Furthermore, we want to continue our workshops and sessions for schools, community organisations and Universities, where we help the community work on mental health and wellbeing, improving other people's lives and looking after themselves. This will continue to use the connections we already have.
