Time to Change is England's most ambitious programme to end the discrimination faced by people with mental health problems. Their national advertising campaign launched successfully in January and they are now planning more national activity in the summer and autumn.
From 13 July to the end of August there will be more advertising on TV, in the press and online.
From the end of September they are running a Time to Change roadshow around England to coincide with Time to Change`s Get Moving Week, which brings people together through fun physical activity to break down stigma.
They want to work with other organisations to deliver both the roadshow and Get Moving so that they get a high profile locally and involve local people.
