Blackburn with Darwen was named a Time to Change Hub in 2017 with partners committing to work together to improve local attitudes and behaviours towards people experiencing mental health conditions.
The Hub was created using insights from the national Time to Change campaign, run by Mind and Rethink Mental Illness, combined with knowledge gained from the local community.
