Plan an activity

You can do anything that will encourage people to talk. Try some of these activity ideas to get your community talking: 

  • Origami
  • Bingo
  • True or false quiz
  • Coffee and chat  
  • Walk and talk in the park 

People might not want to talk about how they’re feeling. Instead, try general, light-hearted topics of conversation. Is there a celebrity you admire for speaking up about mental health? You could chat about that.

Find a place to chat

You could meet outdoors or indoors at places like:

  • Community centres 
  • Parks, gardens and allotments  
  • Libraries  
  • Churches and halls  
  • Gyms, leisure centres and sports clubs  
  • Theatres  
  • Cafes  
  • Scout huts and youth clubs

Continue the conversation

Regular chats are important for other people’s mental health and your own. So, keep up the conversation after 6 February 2025.  

Meeting new people, learning a new skill and volunteering are other ways to improve mental wellbeing.
