Our popular Reach Out event focuses on mental health awareness, support and guidance, with a lot of fun mixed in.

​

This event will bring together businesses, charities, organisations and individuals who all have something to offer in terms of mental health awareness and help, support and guidance.

​

In 2022, we hosted a number of free workshops and activities with a focus on improving health and well-being.  This year, it's going to be bigger and better with the help of our local NHS services who are involved in bringing more services and organisations to Reach Out!
