Video footage of our "Out of Sight, Out of Mind" event on #MentalHealthAwareness day, 10th Oct '23. We planted 1500+ ceramic flowers, painted by locals & school children. We had to hold it on ...the neighbouring farmland, as the cemetery is in private hands.

We need a passionate historian to help save the graves of these mental health patients. From all walks of life, these patients were laid to rest in a patch abandoned by the health service & sold ...to a developer.
