Monday 15th May 2023 marks the beginning of an exciting collaboration between Thrive LDN and Messages of Hope. Thrive LDN is a citywide public mental health partnership to ensure all Londoners have an equal opportunity for good mental health and wellbeing.
Messages of Hope and Thrive LDN are working together to bring hundreds of submissions to life in new collaboration.
Launched during Mental Health Awareness Week 2023 and aligning with Thrive LDN's Getting Through This Together campaign, the collaboration will see anonymous messages submitted by Londoners shared daily. The hundreds of anonymous messages have been submitted from Londoners, many who have experienced their own difficulties and challenges and who want to share words of advice and encouragement for anyone that might be struggling. Many of the submissions contain personal positive affirmations alongside well-known messages of encouragement or wisdom.
The collaboration began in October 2022 during World Mental Health Day 2022 both online and on the day at London's City Hall as part of the Never Alone LDN festival. The project was a way of offering Londoners an opportunity to connect and share experiences through messages written by those living and working in the city.
The next stage in the collaboration aims to bring these messages to life by sharing them publicly though Instagram. Aiming to encourage the conversation around mental health and help to break the stigma that surrounds it. As well as highlighting professional and urgent support available for anyone that may need it.
