Boots and Beards

Boots and Beards work with communities to improve their health and wellbeing. They believe in working together and in changing lives for the better. They do this through physical activity, art sessions, carers fortnightly meetups and aim to increase opportunities for people to participate, especially among the under-represented group.

Our partnership with Boots and Beards began in October, 2024. We required the support and expertise of the organization on Intersectional Stigma workshop that Communities and Priority Groups have been developing over the last year. 

The session took place with seven Boots and Beards staff in October, who offered us feedback on different bits of the intersectional stigma workshop which helped us in making changes to it. They also emphasized the crucial role of having an intersectional approach to mental health stigma to address inequalities.
