“Its Winter Time and I’m Painting on a Smile…”

The Under the Bridge project is a project that explores the positive mental health impacts of spending time in Blue Spaces. Alongside water-based activities, Creative Arts & Music and light-touch Holistic therapy sessions – our project brings together individuals promoting togetherness, strengthening support circles and developing confidence all whilst exploring creativity.

The project is open to all males aged 18+ and is delivered in the Erewash area.

Our Christmas single has been written in order to raise awareness about men’s mental health and encourage men struggling in any way not to get isolated during the winter period. Stats show that after Christmas is a pressure point for men with January seeing a surge in the number of men attempting to take their own lives. It is worth remembering when it comes to men:

Suicide is the biggest preventable killer

Suicide is the biggest killer of men under 50

¾ of suicides are men
