Raising Awareness - an awards ceremony

The In Bloom Not Broken Mental Health Awareness Awards Todays post for Time To Talk Day is about an awards evening to encourage mental health.  It is the project of Katie Houghton, that's Katie in the photo below.  She does a lot of mental health hope projects, and I know with her at the wheel, as well as Redditch Council, the event will be a success. There is more information below and some links to click on.  This post was written by myself, Peter McDonnell, to help raise awareness of my friend Katie's event.  If you like this post please do a quick comment, and I hope you will stay on my site for a bit, there is more to see through the menu button in top left.
