NHS

Last year, Creative Colony joined forces with the South West London and St George's Mental Health NHS Trust to craft "Hold the Hope," a poignant short film designed to enhance suicide awareness training.

Led by individuals deeply acquainted with the impacts of suicide, and elevated by the compelling voice of award-winning spoken word artist George the Poet, the film weaves together narratives of challenge and resilience. It stands as a testament to the transformative power of merging lived experiences with professional acumen to confront mental health challenges.
