Something Special is Just Around the Corner!
On Monday 12th May, from 15:15 to 17:00, we’ll be welcoming the Lancashire Mind Roadshow for its first ever visit to Preston. We celebrate an occasion like this as we deeply value opportunities to shine a spotlight on mental wellbeing, as well as spread positivity and help our local community learn more about looking after their minds.
This celebration isn’t just your average awareness campaign, either. You can expect a mix of information, connection, creativity, and fun, with a number of activities on offer as well as a friendly mascot and a chance to express what mental health means to you! There will be a lot going on and plenty for you to do. But, before we take a closer look at what to expect, let’s first give you a little info about Lancashire Mind.
Who Is Lancashire Mind?
Lancashire Mind is a Chorley-based mental health organisation that’s set out with one powerful mission: to make mental health a priority for everyone in the region. They work with people of all ages, backgrounds, and needs, providing useful tools, support, and education to help the public build more resilient minds. With such a compassionate and caring approach towards wellbeing, we wanted to give them a platform that can help them better connect with the people of Preston.
What is the Lancashire Mind Roadshow?
For the very first time, this group are now taking their message on the road! During this Mental Health Awareness Week, they will be travelling with a wellbeing van across the county with the objective of bringing people together and giving such an important topic a much-needed boost of visibility. Having fun is also key for of this group (as well as us), which is why this event will include a wide variety of activities which are exciting, informative, and engaging.
What Can I Expect at the Event?
This celebration isn’t solely for spreading information. It’s also meant to be a deeply interactive experience that aims to lift your spirits and spark conversations. By coming to the Lancashire Mind Roadshow at Fishergate, you can expect to:

Music brings us together, and as a way to connect with attendees, the Lancashire Mind team will be asking people to select songs that make them feel good. They will then play these song choices throughout the event to keep everyone energetic and uplifted!

Whether you fancy trying out a hula hoop or showing off your keep-up skills, these activity-based challenges are all about movement and laughter. Some friendly competition may even be on the cards as well.
