A new mental health and wellbeing festival will go ahead in Perth and Kinross this year amid a “mental health crisis” brought on by the pandemic.
Set up last year, local charity Trauma Healing Together has organised the festival following a £9,100 grant from The National Lottery Community Fund.
It will go ahead from August 9 to 15.
The charity says the pandemic has had a “devastating” effect on people’s mental wellbeing, which will likely be long-lasting.
Impact of Covid-19
Founder and trustee Roxanne Kerr said: “After almost a year of people living in isolation, we want to bring people together in an event which not only supports people struggling with the after-effects of Covid-19 but also promotes the fantastic work of other not-for-profit mental health organisations in the area.

A Tayside mental health trauma charity has announced plans for a mental health festival this summer amid a current crisis.
Founded in November by Roxanne Kerr, of Rumbling Bridge, Trauma Healing Together will host the festival online due to the continued uncertainty of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Mental health crisis
The event comes after MSPs voted to declare a mental health crisis in Scotland.
In a debate at Holyrood last week, MSPs opted 65 to 58 in favour of the motion after Holyrood’s health committee warned of a “mental health tsunami” following the pandemic.
