Inspired by the painting of messages on pebbles and pebble painting parties, we created a campaign to connect people across the county. West Sussex Rocks inspired people to create, collaborate and celebrate.
We encouraged people to see that just as many pebbles make a shoreline, many people make a movement. We wanted them to challenge the stony stigma of silence by being active about mental health.
We worked in collaboration with our Open Minds champions, artists, theatre and film design students from Northbrook MET college and Mel, the amazing sign-writing volunteer.
Our other campaigns and events we've had previously:
- People, Puzzles, Pathways – suicide awareness
- What's mine is yours! What Mind is yours? – collective thinking about mental health
- Messages on Mandalas – reflective messages drawn on painted Mandalas.
Events, stalls, radio, Instagrammers, influencers and writers, videos and photographers, designers, techies, creatives, fundraisers, community groups, libraries, schools, employers... we always need help to reach more people. Come and join our team. We all have a role and can help turn awareness into action
