To mark World Mental Health Day 2021, Thrive LDN is holding a festival of activities co-developed with young Londoners called Never Alone LDN. The activities look at how young Londoners can come together to overcome the challenges we face and reflect on the experiences of young Londoners during the pandemic.

Young people are encouraged to come together for a range of film screenings, live music performances, creative workshops, and panel discussions, all held at Rich Mix, east London. The programme will see four separate free-to-attend events and highlights will also be streamed through Thrive LDN’s YouTube channel on WMHD.
