What is inspiring change?

The Festival sits around a collection of one-act plays, many of which have been created for Inspiring Change, which span a wide range of mental health issues and related topics. Wrapped around this are a series of other events, creative and informative, to give insight into positive practice and to build links between the mental health sector and the arts.

Inspiring Change runs from 13th May to 24th June in ten venues in Surrey and London. It features the work of eight performance companies plus a wonderfully diverse range of speakers, workshop leaders, poets and artists.

We want the Festival to ask questions and raise awareness, to profile the great work that is already going on, and to give people the opportunity to learn a little about a range of aspects of mental health.

We also want to develop a positive and compassionate mental health-in-the-arts community. Please keep in touch with us. If you are already involved in this process please let us know and we will talk about what you are doing. Come and support Inspiring Change, participate, be part of the change. The conversation has begun; there’s so much we can do from here.
