Open Up is very proud and pleased to announce their Open Up Initiatives for 2009-2010.
Open Up is one of the Time to Change projects, and the Initiatives Scheme is Open Up’s programme of financial and practical support and encouragement, for people with experience of mental distress who want to set up their own anti-di...scrimination projects. We work with 16 Initiatives over a period of one year, to help them to get their projects up and running.
This summer we received over 90 applications for the Open Up Initiatives scheme. All were of a very high standard, which made the decision process slightly difficult - but after a lengthy discussion our excellent panel came up with 16 great projects - and we are very much looking forward to working with them all over the coming year.
To find out more about our 2009-10 Initiatives, visit the website: http://www.open-up.org.uk/initiatives/20

We bumped into F1 driver superstar Damon Hill the other day - here's what he has to say about the benefits of Get Moving, and how it can challenge stigma:
"There is still a lot of stigma attached to mental illness, for some reason we seem to find it more difficult to talk about than other health problems. The irony is that talking about the problem can be part of the solution. People experiencing mental health problems such as depression can feel very alone and the Get Moving events are a great way to promote inclusion and also bring people together to tackle stigma."
Well said Damon, have a great Get Moving week everyone, and don't forget to send us pics of your events! http://www.time-to-change.org.uk/what-we
