David Bradley, Chief Executive at South West London and St. George's Mental Health NHS Trust, said, "We are very proud to be celebrating Mental Health Month and we hope that Londoners will join us for a night that is sure to be funny, entertaining and will support a wonderful charity that helps people at their most vulnerable.

“We know that one in four of us will be affected by mental illness at some point in our life and that nine out of ten people say that their problems are made worse by experiencing stigma and discrimination.

“These events are a great opportunity for the community to find out more about the work that we do and to get actively involved in challenging the stigma and discrimination that people with mental health problems still face today.”
