A massive thank you to Sveta Sangani, who organised the art exhibition ‘Strings of Mind’, to raise awareness for mental health and fundraise for Mind BLMK. ‘Strings of Mind’ took place at the Westbury Arts centre in Milton Keynes, focusing on raising awareness in Asian communities and breaking the stigma around mental health. It reflected upon the echoes of emotions in different phases of life and understanding our inner labyrinth of Mind. The exhibition was well attended, and we had the pleasure of the High Sheriff of Buckinghamshire Kurshida Mirza BEM supporting the event. The event raised an amazing amount of £364.25 plus Gift Aid. Thank you again Sveta, from all of us at Mind BLMK x
