Support That Makes a Difference
We’re proud to welcome Together UK and The Jessica Project.
Together UK is a local charity supporting people experiencing mental distress, helping them to live independent and fulfilling lives.
The Jessica Project is a survivor-led organisation supporting recovery from sexual violence and domestic abuse. The team will be on hand to raise awareness, share information about their vital services, and offer empowering merchandise.
Supporting the Every Little Thing Festival
We’re honoured to continue supporting the Every Little Thing Festival, created in memory of Diva. The festival raises awareness around mental health, wellness and suicide prevention, offering hope and support to those who need it most. The team will be at Broad Street Beats to share their powerful message with the community.
Local Creativity with Reading Alternative Market
Reading Alternative Market (RAM) will be joining us to talk all about the markets they will be hosting throughout the year, including their upcoming market at Broad Street Mall the following week. RAM was created for those who love something a little different and want to support local makers and independent creatives.
Come along, feel the love, and celebrate Valentine’s with music and community at Broad Street Mall.
