Beyond the Cabaret & Bea DeVile Present - One in Four

Event information

Mental illness is one of our last taboos and it is more common than you think. But there is something you can do to help - To coincide with World Mental Health Day and to raise awareness for the Time to Change campaign, we bring you our 2nd annual burlesque & cabaret extravaganza.

To highlight the important significance of the need to change one's attitudes towards those with mental health problems and in an attempt to dispel many of the myths out there, we have brought together a team of entertainers from the cream of the UK's burlesque scene who support awareness of mental health, or have had their lives affected by mental health issues, to perform for you.

The impact of prejudice, ignorance and fear around mental health can be devastating for people, families, communities and society. Stigma may prevent people seeking help when they need it. It stops people with ability getting the jobs they are qualified to do. It can stop people building new friendships and mean they lose existing ones. It can mean that everyday activities that you might take for granted, like going to the pub, shops or gym are impossible.

One in four adults experience mental health problems in any one year. 1 in 50 experience more severe mental illness. Millions of people across England live in the shadow of one of the last great taboos - mental health problems. This is the social justice issue of the 21st century.

We are hoping to make a small change and encourage everyone to make their own pledge and realise it's also their Time to Change.
