Champions for Change

Champions for Change Kingston is a local movement led by volunteers (Champions) who have a lived experience of mental ill health. The Champions share their experiences in a variety of ways, openly or anonymously, to help bust myths and demystify stigmas in Kingston.

What is this service?

Anyone who has a lived experience of mental ill health, and is over the age of 18, can join! 

We hold monthly meetings where the Champions get together, check in with each other, and share ideas they have for running a campaign or event. These usually take place on a Wednesday evening on Zoom.

One of our projects is the Living Library. A digital collection of Champions stories sharing their lived experience of mental ill health to reduce mental health stigma, demystify misconceptions, and open up the conversation on mental ill health. Explore the collection here: https://www.mindinkingston.org.uk/champions-for-change-living-library/
