"I’m supporting the Happy Soul Festival, because any event that creates awareness and hopefully educates the public and those who do not understand mental health problems is good for sufferers and carers of sufferers to advise illustrate and educate about mental health issues.
"For years it (mental health) has been swept under the carpet, events such as this keep it in the public eye for all to see and hopefully understand. It will be wonderful to meet lots of people who hopefully have similar views concerning mental health. Also I spent a good few of my youthful years in this neck of the woods (Wandsworth), so who knows I might meet a few old friends!"
Frank Bruno
"It is important to have events such as the Happy Soul Festival raising awareness of wellbeing in BME communities because more often than not, the diets are very different and the issues of eating healthily may be different. So it’s essential to get the right information across to all communities about what constitutes 'good' food".
Manju Malhi
"I’m supporting the Happy Soul Festival as I feel many people suffer in silence with no support for the mental health issues they endure – simply because most people don’t understand or know what to do about it".
Mica Paris

"Being able to raise awareness of services and schemes directly to the demographics is essential. I think what makes Happy Soul so special is that it’s created by people who work day to day with these issues FOR the communities that are affected. I just feel lucky to be involved".
