Mental health problems can affect us all…
Mental Health Awareness Weeks (MHAW) was started in Nottingham by a small group of people
with lived experience and carers in 1992, timed to include World Mental Health Day. Thanks to the enthusiastic support of many individuals and organisations, it has grown from one week to two and has become part of the local calendar.
MHAW’s 2026 programme will be posted soon!
In Memory of Rosemary
In memory of Rosemary Renouf, whose commitment, dedication and compassion ensured that Nottingham’s MHAW’s continues to flourish. We have lost a wonderful friend who was a strong advocate for the power of community and togetherness.

MHAW at 20
To capture the spirit of MHAW and to mark our 20th anniversary, we made the short film below – please take a look.
