I concluded a series of performances raising money and awareness for Mental Health Charities. The series began with an event in aid of BEAT UK, the UK’s leading eating disorder charity, and concluded in December in York with an event organised by Time to Change, York, a campaign to end mental health stigma and discrimination for residents and visitors to the city.
Such a wonderful experience to meet so many over the course of these events that have struggled with or know others who’ve struggled with a broad range of issues. Ending the stigma is massively important and I’m humbled to have been able to be part of these events.
Delighted to be performing in York at the Basement Bar for a great cause.Wendy Pratt, Matt Nicholson, Rose Drew, Oz Hardwick, and I will be performing in support of Time to Change York.

This is what the organisers have to say:
”Passionate about young people's mental health and poetry? 'Rights Advocates' on the national Make Our Rights Reality project are hosting their very own poetry event to raise awareness of our #OurMindsOurFuture campaign…
As you can (hopefully) tell. I’ve got a new website (because I’m fancy like that).
The old blog still exists and I will be slowly migrating the content over, but if there’s anything you were looking for do feel free to give me a shout.
Thanks for your patience while I iron out any inevitable bugs on this new slab of interwebs.
I'm feeling very blessed to be able to share this videopoem Claire Trévien has created for my poem 'Salt on the Lips' from The Calder Valley Codex, beautifully read by the marvellous Helen Mort.
