4 weeks to go until the Be Brave Sunderland team head to The Deer Shed Festival to provide mental health support to festival goers, staff and artists.

This years team comprises of the normal rabble of our CEO Lyndon Brooks, Claire Freeman, Carol and Gary Bowden.

This year, we have Kirsty Jane Lennon from Rain or Shine Counselling in Sunderland joining us for the weekend, to help out.

We also have a few volunteers from the festival area who will be giving us a hand in Angela from angelasmiththerapy and Tasha from Indigo Hub.

These festivals get better and better each year and we are proud to be asked to provide this essential mental health support.

Lyndon will also be providing some Forest Guided Meditation workshops over the weekend so festival goers can relax and unwind for a brief spell.
