Read MoreI concluded a series of performances raising money and awareness for Mental Health Charities. The series began with an event in aid of BEAT UK, the UK’s leading eating disorder charity, and concluded in December in York with an event organised by Time to Change, York, a campaign to end mental health stigma and discrimination for residents and visitors to the city.
Such a wonderful experience to meet so many over the course of these events that have struggled with or know others who’ve struggled with a broad range of issues. Ending the stigma is massively important and I’m humbled to have been able to be part of these events.
