"Do Blue" is our annual campaign for World Mental Health Day, turning Norfolk and Waveney blue to raise awareness and reduce the stigma around mental health.
Mark the date in your diary, we'll be back again for "Do Blue" in 2025 on the 10th October!
By taking part in "Do Blue", you can help us raise awareness and vital funds to support our work right here in Norfolk and Waveney. Money raised will help us to ensure that no one in Norfolk and Waveney has to face poor mental health alone.
Whilst part of the Mind network, Norfolk and Waveney Mind are an independent charity and we raise our own funds. Each year the demand for our services increases as more and more people seek support for their mental health however, we can’t do it alone. Help us on this journey and join in with turning Norfolk and Waveney blue for World Mental Health Day.
