I wanted to share the continued brilliant work being done by Time 2 Talk, one of the charities being support by the Charity Event. Time 2 Talk (T2T) was originally developed following the sad passing of a young African-Caribbean man from Derby who had suffered with some mental health difficulties. The initial aim of the group was to support men who historically had low levels of engagement with mental health with the vital support services. The group aims and intends to: 1. Create a safe, supportive, and confidential space for all communities 2. Hold monthly community meetings that provide opportunities to promote community engagement. 3. To organise separate sessions to enable people to talk about there experiences wellness and mental health difficulties. With the funds generated as part of the event, the aim is to create a wider reach and the ability to create pod casts to share experience and stories to wider communities. Sometimes hearing the experience from others can be enough for someone to seek help. Please show you support; even small amounts can make a massive difference.
