Mental Health Awareness Week 2025
This Mental Health Awareness Week, UnLtd has joined forces with social entrepreneurs and their communities up and down the country to share how being connected can provide us with a sense of belonging, safety and support in hard times.
By Nicola Curtis, Head of External Affairs
We’d like to share the conversations filmed on our Pop-up UnLtd sofa – a space for open dialogue between social entrepreneurs and the people they support.
Together, they explore this year’s Mental Health Awareness theme of ‘community’ and how community spaces, social enterprises and shared experiences can provide a lifeline for people.
