'From Seen to Scene' event by Time to Change Kingston Champion Paddy 
 
Come along to this entertaining event and spend your evening watching shortlisted scenes from a screenwriting competition performed by professional actors live and vote for your favourite one. The theme is 'encounters', so expect everything from the kindness of a stranger and how someone met their best friend to the downright bizarre and hilarious that must be seen to be believed!

Small things that go a long way 'In conversation' with Time to Change Kingston Champions
 
We invite you to join and listen to five of our wonderful Time to Change Kingston Champions Eli, Debbie, Tony, Dorota and Sarah talk about all things mental health to mark Time to Talk Day. They will be discussing their own experiences of mental health issues as well as 'the power of small' (the theme of Time to Talk Day). They will share small things that others have done that have gone a long way to helping them in their recovery. 
 

Want to get involved in future events?
