In the lead-up to World Mental Health Day on 10th October, we invite you to be part of two amazing events: “Do Blue” and the Night Walk
“Do Blue” returns for another year to turn Norfolk and Waveney into a community of colour, hope, and conversation. During the day schools, businesses, and individuals across the county will be ‘doing blue’ – through clothing, decorations, baking, and so much more! Joining our “Do Blue” campaign is a simple gesture with a powerful message: mental health matters, and together we can make it visible.
Sign up your friend group, household, workplace, or school on our website norfolkandwaveneymind.org.uk/do-blue to get a free mailout of goodies to help you “Do Blue”.
In the evening, our Night Walk will take over the streets of Norwich. Covering a 5km route, hundreds of fundraisers will walk side by side in honour of loved ones, to celebrate their own journey, or in solidarity of those facing poor mental health. The route will be illuminated by local businesses lighting up blue and our incredible fundraisers glowing with the warmth of shared purpose and, well, glow sticks! We’ll round off the night by dusting off our dance moves at The Forum for a silent disco.
Events like “Do Blue” and the Night Walk are more than fundraisers; they are lifelines. They remind people they are not forgotten, they are not weak, and they are never alone. With your help, we can ensure no one in Norfolk and Waveney has to face poor mental health alone.
