Thank you for your interest in our work





If you would like to help us tackle the stigma and discrimination that surrounds mental health, there are a number of ways you can get involved with our work.

We often ask people to help us. Sometimes, this may be a small task like writing a letter to a local service provider, reading some materials or making a phone call. Other times, there may be opportunities to attend meetings or take part in events in your area.

The best way to find out about tasks we need help with is to follow us via Twitter, Facebook or other social networking site. Find links to the social networking sites that we currently use. If we don't currently use your favourite site and you think we should, please let us know

You can also keep an eye on this page. When we need your help on larger projects, we post information here.

You can take part in as many or as few tasks as you like. If you don't want to take part in the latest task, you can either wait to see if the next one will be of more interest, or visit this page to see if older tasks are still open.
