CLICKS Art Foundation – Show for World Suicide Prevention Day
September 12 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
Champion Health recently collated statistics around suicide, finding:
- Over 700,000 people take their own life each year – that’s one person every 40 seconds (World Health Organisation)
- 115 people die by suicide in the UK every week – with 75% of those deaths being male (ONS)
- 1 in 5 people have suicidal thoughts (NHS Digital).
The Arts – whether through watching or being involved – have long been known to promote opportunity, connectivity and empowerment, and are a combat to loneliness and isolation which are huge factors when it comes to poor mental health.
CLICK Arts Foundation have teamed up with London Comedy Club, Groovie Comedy to present an evening of joy, laughter and escapism through dance and comedy – as well as information and support as they are joined by keynote speakers: The NHFT Suicide Prevention Team, Kezzabelle Ambler who will also run a micro weaving words workshop to show the power of writing for self expression, Cryohub Bedford, MG Mixology (non alcoholic cocktails!!) and founder of The Pierce Perspective Andy Pierce.
The evening is hosted by drag queen Dark Sugar and founder of Groovie Comedy Gordana Micic, and our CLICK dancers will even be leading a Burlesque “taster” that we’d love you to join us in!
There are fabulous wellbeing themed raffle prizes, and the event is sponsored by Pearson Business Book Club: https://www.pearson.com/en-gb/higher-education/students/careers/book-club.html which means all ticket sales can go to benefit the charities!!
