Staying Alive Cool Tan Arts Sponsored Walk

Stayin’ Alive – Celebrate World Mental Health Day with CoolTan Arts Largactyl Shuffle Sponsored Walk
Finish: South Bank

Join a fun, guided, stigma busting cultural walk, celebrate World Mental Health Day, and help us raise money to support people with mental distress in London.

Our ‘Stayin’ Alive’ walk will be a fun interactive event, focusing on the theme of hope. As we walk the 4.8 miles to the South Bank we will share what inspires us and makes life worth living, through talks, discussion, performance and art! All the money raised by sponsorship enables CoolTan Arts to continue supporting people with mental distress through creative arts workshops and self-advocacy training.

CoolTan have created a Hope Wall in our gallery space. The wall is for people to share items that inspire them and give them hope – whether that be art, poetry, photos, quotes or anything else you can think of! Images from the wall are also shared online.

Work created will be shared on our Stayin’ Alive Sponsored Walk, taking place on October 12th 2013.

If you would like to contribute to the wall, either pop into CoolTan or send it through to us by email to emmathatcher

or share with us on Twitter or Facebook
