East Riding mental health charity re-starts ‘Tea & Talk’
It'll be running in May, to mark Mental Health Awareness Week.
Local mental health charity Hull and East Yorkshire Mind is today re-launching its ‘Tea & Talk’ campaign - running throughout Mental Health Awareness week during 9th-15th May 2022.
Taking time out from our busy lives to have a bit of a natter is always a good idea. It’s even better when there’s tea and cake involved. The idea behind the fundraising campaign is simple, have a cuppa, enjoy a natter and raise money for better mental health.
Hull and East Yorkshire Mind is encouraging people to organise bake sales, afternoon teas or whatever they choose in order to raise money and talk about mental health during this year’s Mental Health Awareness week.
Mental Health Awareness Week is an annual event when there is an opportunity for the whole of the UK to focus on achieving good mental health. The Mental Health Foundation started the event 21 years ago. The theme this year been loneliness. The charities hope to have events covering the whole of East Yorkshire and North East Lincolnshire.
Community Fundraiser at Hull and East Yorkshire Mind, NMarie-louise Robinson, said:
“Tea and Talk is a fun way to spend time with friends, family, or work colleagues, and have a cuppa and a chat about all things mental health.
"By taking part, you’ll be raising awareness of mental health, and perhaps also raising some much-needed funds for our charity.
"If you would like to hold a Tea and Talk event, we have lots of resources to support you; such as a cake quiz, mini bunting, cake flags and much more. Get in touch with us and we’ll be happy to help.”
