## **Our Mission** 

We are a charity founded and run by people from the Showmen and Fairground community. The trustees on our board are either travelling Showmen or settled down Showmen professionals. 

Our aim is to break the stigma surrounding mental health in our community. We do this by providing support, information, and funding for private mental health services to all Showmen (of all ages) in the UK & Ireland. 


## **Charity Activities** 

The Showmen’s Mental Health Awareness Charity operates in three areas: 




## •Mental Health Services 

## •Education 

## •Awareness 

All of our activities aim to assist our community’s wellbeing and prevent poor mental health. 

We recognise the importance of bespoke services that display a wide understanding of Showmen culture, each area we operate is developed with and for our community. The importance of community voice helped establish and continues to drive the charity activities.

## **Mental Health Services** 

The Showmen’s Mental Health Awareness Charity (SMHAC) specialise in providing fast and effective mental health support and funding to the Showmen community. 

## Self Referral 

To access the charities services, service users must undertake a self-referral process through our website or make direct contact with a SMHAC nurse. 

## Screening Service 

The charity currently works with two private mental health nurses who specialise in both adult and child screening. All individuals who use our mental health services must undertake a screening process after submission of the selfreferral form. 

The screening process allows the SMHAC nurses to assess the service user’s current concerns to determine the correct mental health pathway. 

Once self-referral and screening is complete, a passover document will be produced for the most suitable therapist or counsellor to support the service providers mental health. 

## Therapy & Counselling 

The SMHAC provide funding for private therapy and counselling. The charity currently funds twelve private therapy/counselling sessions for any Show Person within the UK and Ireland. 

This service can be extended to 20 sessions through a written or verbal extension process which must remain anonymous to protect the information of the service user. 


## Formal Diagnosis 

The SMHAC provide private funding for psychiatric assessments through our partners Psymplicity Health Care, Optimise Health Care & Sanctum , this includes but is not limited to, ADHD, OCD and Autism. 

We currently have a 2-4 week turnaround from initial contact to passover. 

## Rehabilitation Grant 

We can provide a small rehabilitation grant of £3000 to help support Showmen who may need access to rehabilitation services.

**Education** 

The Showmen’s Mental Health Awareness Charity recognises the importance of education as a preventative tool. 

The charity aims to support our community with educational materials, workshops, and lectures for both adults and children. 

We provide monthly mental Health Workshops with our partners Epic Assist that cover a variety of topics including: 

- Suicide Prevention 

- Mental Health in the Fairground Industry 

- Women’s Mental Health 

- Men’s Mental Health 

We have organised gender specific mental health workshops where it is more detailed on specific gender related issues. We want to make sure 

our community feel comfortable discussing their problems in the right environment which is why these workshops have been so valuable. 

Providing monthly workshops on mental health education, we get a variety of community members joining to learn more about how to help their friends and family. These are partnered with Epic Assist who provide us with up to date, valid information. 

We conducted a 3-day youth project workshop during lockdown. This was to help the next generation of Showmen and Travellers develop 

the mental health tools to help themselves and other community members, along with raising awareness amongst the age group. We worked with children from the community on environmental, mental, and physical health. Education is important for us at the Showmen’s Mental Health Charity, we want to cover all learning aspects with regards to health and diversify the ways that we can learn to be more mindful. 


We presented at numerous different conferences and symposiums including: 

- GTRSB Health Conference 

- Queens Nurses Institution 

- Central Council Showmen’s Guild of Great Britain

**Awareness** 

The Showmen’s Mental Health Awareness Charity aims to spread awareness through a variety of outreach events and online campaigns to break the stigma surrounding mental health within our community. 

- We launched our Facebook, Instagram and Twitter accounts and have gained over 6000 followers together on these platforms. 

- We partnered with the Showmen England and Scotland football teams to help raise awareness and break the stigma at the annual football event. 

- We organised multiple community walks throughout the UK. 


## **Fundraising and Community Support** 

We have fundraised in many ways throughout the last 12 months and received support from our community and from our social media followers, who are mainly within the Showmen Traveller community. When we initially began the charity, we set up a Go Fund Me page to raise funds which was shared across the community. Members across the country raised money on our behalf by organising sponsored walks and giveaways. 

We also designed and bought branded notepads & t shirts which were sold by the Trustees to raise funds at fairground events. Since the initial set up, we have recently integrated a donation button 

on our website for an easier way for people to make donations. We have also received support and donations from the Showmen’s Guild to help spread awareness across the community and support its members.

**Working in The Community** 

Community is at the heart of our charity, and we want to make sure we listen and learn from our community, whilst providing support and educational tools. In the last 12 months we have: 

- We launched our Show Smart 

   - Campaign which aims to celebrate knowledge passed down from many generations of showmen, and the use of Showmen terminology when considering our mental health. 

- We co-ordinated and organised a large community/youth event at the annual Leeds Valentines Fair. We had 11 partners supporting the event including Sheffield University National Circus and Fairground Archive, Future 4 Fairgrounds and registered charities Fair Scotland and Epic Assist.
