In a powerful display of solidarity with mental health awareness, the North Norfolk Youth Council is set to illuminate Cromer Pier in a soothing shade of blue as part of the Norfolk & Waveney Mind’s “Do Blue Campaign.” This heartwarming initiative aims to shed light on the importance of mental health and offer support to those in need.
The spectacular lighting of Cromer Pier will take place on Tuesday, October 10th, coinciding with World Mental Health Day. Members of the community are cordially invited to join the North Norfolk Youth Council on the Pier from 6:30 pm onwards.

Collaborating with organizations like Mind represents an exceptional opportunity to bolster mental health awareness and demonstrate that concerted efforts are underway to address mental health challenges. By coming together as a community and eradicating the stigma associated with mental health issues, it is possible to create a supportive environment where individuals feel valued and connected.
The North Norfolk Youth Council firmly believes that no one should feel isolated in their struggles, and it is high time to shine a bright light on mental health. The “Do Blue Campaign” is an inspiring endeavor that aims to illuminate the path toward better mental health and well-being for all. It underscores the pivotal role that young people and the entire community can play in fostering understanding and empathy surrounding mental health challenges.
