What’s in it for volunteers?
This year, the Time to Change Village will be ‘popping’ up’ at Bristol, Brighton, Blackpool, Cambridge, Newcastle and South East London.The Village is a pop-up space consisting of a variety of marquees where people can learn about mental health in a fun and interactive way. It has all the things you might expect to find in villages and towns across the world: a surgery, post office, news agent, library and a village green. But there’s a twist – each of these areas will provide a unique opportunity to get people talking.
When people meet our trained volunteers for a chat at the Time to Change Village, they will find out more about mental health. This helps to challenge prejudices and stereotypes which often lead to discrimination.
