Coventry and Warwickshire Mind has partnered with Dub Club, Coventry, for a series of events designed to give people greater access to the services available for anyone struggling with mental health issues and at the same time make friends and admire the wide selection of vehicles on show.

“Coventry and Warwickshire Mind is now over 50 years old and supports thousands of adults and children across the county each year and is an independent charity,” said Vanessa Smith, senior fund raiser.

“Dub is a passionate community of car enthusiasts and this exciting collaboration aims to revitalise not only engines but also minds by promoting mental health awareness and support. We talked with the public at our wellbeing van and we also had donations from theM. It was a great opportunity to engage with the people on both days. Our supporter, Bill Reeve from Dub Club, organised a fantastic car event that was both entertaining and meaningful and he generously wrapped his Porsche in Coventry and Warwickshire Mind branding.”

The two-day meet was hosted at Caffeine and Machine and included vehicles from all over the Midlands.
