Hello everyone
I need some information about mental health promotion, some initiatives and social activities promoted for those that experience loneliness over holiday period in London. Maybe some of you are working with such organisations, charities or just know somebody who does?
If you do, that would be great, and you can drop me an email.
Appreciated and Many thanks
Simona
Hi Simona,
I don't work for any mental health organisations but have a look at these websites...

I know these are quite generic and maybe you have them already but there are smaller charities which often initiate local social activities for health promotion. These are links to a charity set up after a friend lost her life to mental health, she was very talented and her family wanted more input into therapy, mainly art based. There are more organisations simllar to this in London that i could probably get details of if you like.

I hope these help a little bit.
