Do you have a great idea for challenging mental health discrimination in your area?

Open Up are pleased to announce the launch of Project Support, a new initiative for people with experience of mental distress, as part of their work with the Moving People campaign.

They are looking for people with ideas for innovative projects that will challenge negative attitudes about mental health where they live. It could be anything from an awareness raising drama, to a media campaign, to a local support group. If it addresses discrimination in a positive way, Open Up want to enable you to put your plans into action.

Their programme of project support provides:

One-to one support from their expert team of Regional Coordinators
Training to explore discrimination issues and to further develop your ideas
Help with expenses of up to £5000

They will be supporting 2 projects in each of England's eight regions. They welcome applications from groups and individuals from all backgrounds, whether you are already carrying out anti-discrimination work or just starting out.

If you would like some A5 flyers to distribute, please call 020 7700 8171.

If you'd like to know more, or to ask for an application pack, please call 020 7700 8171 or email open.up@mhmedia.com
