The Be Free Campaign aims to demolish the stigma behind mental health and promote the free expression of individual values. We work around the country to raise awareness of mental health, mental wellbeing and the stigma that stops many people from getting the help that they need. We have a large team of volunteers who work together and develop our different projects. Our website stands as the hub of the campaign providing information about mental health, stories that inspire people to get help and places where help can be accessed. All of our content is monitored and evaluated by psychiatrists and mental health professionals to ensure that all of our content is up to date and in line with the NHS.
We work with schools, hospitals and community centres around the North West and the Midlands, delivering talks and workshops on mental health and wellbeing. All of our volunteers are trained by our clinical lead, who is a psychiatrist. We also work in communities, talking to the public about mental health and wellbeing. We host coffee mornings, street campaigns and awareness concerts that all break down the stigma that surrounds mental health. Our funds that are received from sponsors, events and donors help us perform the work that we do. All of our volunteers who work with vulnerable people in the community need to be DBS checked. Our volunteers are also covered by public liability insurance that protects them when volunteering with us.
The Be Free Campaign has produced a high-quality mental health training programme designed for the workplace. Mental health in the workplace is a massive issue both for employee welfare and business function- £56 billion was lost in 2021 from UK businesses in 2021 due to mental health issues.
Piloted in the government department of health and social care, we had a massive impact and hope to roll out this training to more employers- which we need your help with! This is a fantastic opportunity to network with high-value contacts, market a high-quality product and make a difference while doing it!
This role would involve working as a team to plan a marketing strategy, putting it into motion, and working with the other charity teams to make use of our resources! We would highly recommend this opportunity for anyone who is looking for a future in marketing and wants to start out with a high-profile project. Despite this being an important project, as a mental health charity, our priority is our volunteers' wellbeing so this opportunity is as much or as little as you like with complete support from all the leads here.
