ORGANISERS of Worthing Mental Health Awareness Week are thrilled to have a new website.

It can be found at www.worthingmentalhealthweek.co.uk

A crowdfunding campaign was launched whereby gifts in kind were recognised by the Worthing County Local Committee.

It then generously awarded a grant to cover the cost of the website.

It is the first grant in the Worthing area to be awarded under West Sussex County Council’s new funding scheme.

The website was designed by Worthing website creator Stacey Church from Lime Pixel https://limepixel.co.uk who has worked tirelessly to get the website up and running in time for the annual Worthing Mental Health Awareness Week.

The Week coincides with World Mental Health Day on October 10.

Events for this year’s Worthing Mental Health Awareness Week (8th - 13th October at Offington Park Methodist Church, South Farm Road by Broadwater Green) will be updated on the website, on Facebook and via #WMHAW on Twitter.

The aim of the Week is to challenge the stigma around mental health and to provide good quality information in a safe and non-judgemental environment.

Most of the events are free and are open to all.

Local charities, organisations and groups will have displays in the ‘Information Centre’ and there will be a variety of workshops and talks designed to promote positive mental health throughout the week.

The week will be launched on Monday 8th October at 10am by the Mayor of Worthing Cllr Paul Baker, who is supportive of the project.
