Norwich

During March 2006 Rethink took the fight against prejudice, ignorance and fear to the streets of Norwich. The campaign involved ads on buses, bus stops, billboards and on the radio together with a major statue unveiling in the Forum on March 10th.

Supporting our advertising campaign were a whole range of local activities from stalls profiling the best of mental health in Norwich in the Forum (March 6 – 17) to Rethink fundraisers out on the streets raising money to support the campaign.

The campaign was launched to the media at the Assembly Rooms on March 1st.

In addition to these activities we tried to get everyone in Norwich involved in our GP Day. We produced a leaflet for GPs and Practice managers telling them about the advantages of making their practice mental health friendly.

Other highlights included a book signing in Borders on March 15/16 and a mental health display in the Millennium library from 6th-15th March.
