Tameside, Oldham and Glossop Mind are the official Greater Manchester Time to Change Organic Hub.
You can learn more about the national Time to Change campaign at their website.
Let's end mental health discrimination.
A staggering 90% people with mental health problems experience some form of stigma, whether from friends and family, at work, in education or during treatment. This is a particular issue that employers can’t afford to ignore because 1 in 4 British workers are affected by mental health conditions every year. Mental ill-health is the leading cause of sickness absence in the UK, costing an average of £1,035 per employee per year.
Tameside, Oldham and Glossop Mind are a part of this group of enlightened organisations and have made our pledge. In order to honour this pledge, we have created an action plan that has been approved by Time to Change. With this plan, we shall demonstrate our commitment to the below principles seen below.
To celebrate Mental Health Awareness week this May, we'll be holding an event in Oldham, taking place on the 17th May at 11:30am till 1:30pm. We'll be running an art competition for the day, so get your creative caps on!
Below you can find our posters for the event and below those you'll find our Terms & Conditions for the event.
