10 years of Open Mind at the Rising Sun Arts Centre, and what better way to celebrate than with a narrowboat trip along the Kennet and Avon Canal last Sunday.

For a whole decade, Open Mind has been bringing people together every week to explore mental health, support wellbeing, and create a space for connection and conversation.

To mark World Mental Health Day, we’re taking you behind the scenes of our boat trip.

Here’s to 10 years of Open Mind, and many more to come! The Open Mind group meet every Tuesday from 6pm The Rising Sun Arts Centre 🎥
