Bristol Balloon Fiesta Soars with Support for Youth Mental Health
The iconic Bristol Balloon Fiesta is set to take flight with a heartwarming partnership this year, joining forces with Love Squared, a leading South West charity dedicated to supporting young people's mental health. This collaboration promises not just breathtaking views and thrilling balloon launches, but also a vital space for families to learn about mental wellbeing and access crucial resources.
Love Squared will have a vibrant and welcoming presence at the festival, boasting a large, colourful tent conveniently located near the balloon launch site. This dedicated area will be a hub of activity, offering families engaging arts and crafts sessions alongside informative displays highlighting the charity's services. It's a fantastic opportunity to raise awareness and break down stigmas surrounding mental health, all within the joyous atmosphere of the Fiesta.
“We’re absolutely thrilled to be partnering with the Bristol Balloon Fiesta,” says a spokesperson for Love Squared. “It’s an incredible platform to reach a wide audience and connect with families who may be seeking support or simply want to learn more about how to prioritize mental wellbeing. The Fiesta’s family-friendly environment makes it the perfect setting for open conversations and positive engagement.”
The partnership extends beyond just the tented area. Love Squared volunteers will be on hand throughout the festival to answer questions, provide information, and direct attendees to appropriate support services. They’ll also be running interactive activities designed to promote positive mental health practices and encourage open communication within families.
This year's Bristol Balloon Fiesta is shaping up to be more than just a spectacular display of hot air balloons; it’s a testament to the power of community and a commitment to supporting the mental health of young people in the South West.
