We have been really fortunate in being chosen amongst some other very impactful projects looking to creatively tackle the stigma around mental health in Scotland this year!⯑⯑⯑
 
We are so grateful for the support of See Me Scotland through their Anti-Stigma Arts Fund and have been really excited to meet people involved with, and hear details of, the other projects.
 
We will be using the funding to put on another Headspace Showcase event to build on the success of last year's. This was an evening where members’ creative work, focused on lived experience and mental health recovery, can be celebrated and shared. Demonstrating that work towards mental health recovery can take many forms and is as unique as an individual's struggles. You can listen to our BBC Radio Orkney show with some of the highlights from last year's event here.
