Feeling down? Don’t stress. Don’t panic. It’s OK to be blue.

That’s the theme of a blue-themed initiative to raise awareness and funds for mental health charity York Mind.

It’s OK To Be Blue launches today (March 26) with a shopping event in Stonegate, with most of the events happening this Friday, March 28.

York Mind intends to reassure people struggling with their mental health that it is fine to feel the need for extra support.

“It’s so important for people to feel they can be open about their mental health and It’s OK To Be Blue aims to celebrate this,” said Bridie Wray, York Mind fundraising project officer.

“York Mind provides a range of services tailored to the needs of the individual and we are hoping that this event will both raise awareness of how we can help, and also raise funds to continue our vital work for the community.”
