Hello all! My name is Elena Clements and I'm a Mental Health First Aider and Wellbeing Ambassador at City of London Corporation. This month, I'm raising money for Mind in celebration of World Mental Health Day (10th October).

Doing art, using your hands or creative mind to make something can be very therapeutic and help with mental wellbeing, reduce stress and improve self-esteem.

I'm asking anyone who wants to donate £5 to recreate their favourite famous piece of art. Let me know which one you're doing!

This could be by drawing, painting, sculpting, photography, textiles or even using virtual art or music! 

Send photographs/files of your art to elena.clements@gsmd.ac.uk by Friday 30th October and at the end of the month we will have a virtual exhibition! Good luck!
