This October, we're asking schools, businesses, workplaces, community groups and people across North Lincolnshire to come together, Turn Blue and show that mental health matters.
Wear blue, decorate your space, organise a fundraiser, start conversations or simply help spread the word.
However you choose to get involved, you'll be helping raise awareness of mental health and supporting North Lincolnshire Mind to continue being there for local people when they need us.
Wear blue. Start conversations. Show kindness. Support your community.
Turn North Lincolnshire Blue
This World Mental Health Day, help us turn North Lincolnshire blue for better mental health.
World Mental Health Day | Saturday 10 October 2026
Schools and workplaces are welcome to Turn Blue on Friday 9 October.
It's free to take part and everyone is welcome.
Why Turn North Lincolnshire Blue?
Every day, people across North Lincolnshire turn to us for mental health support.
North Lincolnshire Mind is an independent local charity supporting people across our community with their mental health and wellbeing.
As an independent charity, we rely on fundraising and support from our local community to help us continue providing vital services.
World Mental Health Day is an opportunity for North Lincolnshire to come together, start conversations and show that nobody should have to face a mental health problem alone.
Whether you raise money, wear something blue or simply start a conversation, every action matters.
How will you Turn Blue?
There’s no one way to get involved. Choose something that works for you, your school, workplace or community.
💙 Wear Blue
Ask pupils, colleagues, friends or family to wear something blue and make an optional donation.
🎨 Turn Your Space Blue

🧁 Fundraise

💬 Start Conversations
Use the day to share positive mental health messages and encourage conversations about wellbeing.
📱 Spread the Word
Share your photos and activities on social media and help us turn North Lincolnshire blue online too.
