Mental Health Awareness Day

The Event - April 14th 2026 The Harlington Centre in Fleet GU51 4BY

From 1200 - 1800

Whether you have mental health issues yourself or you are a worried parent or carer, knowing where you can find help and who to turn to is vital. Organising this event has opened our eyes as to just how many charities and organisations there are in our community who are doing great work when it comes to mental health. This event is designed to get as many of those organisations as we can under one roof, so they can tell us who they are and what they can offer to this very vulnerable age group who are increasingly suffering with their mental health.

On the day, you can expect the representatives of these organisations to be available in the Auditorium of the Harlington Centre, Fleet. They will be there to talk to visitors and hand out information. In the Function Room of the Harlington, we will also have speakers on different types of mental health issues and a Mindfulness session, and we hope this will bring more understanding to some of the mental health challenges being faced.

What to expect on the day

Stalls in the Auditorium will provide information and a chance to talk to professionals about all sorts of mental health issues and signpost to what help you need and where to get it
