Mental health charities from across Greater Manchester have teamed up to create a new campaign, Beelieve.

The collaboration captures the spirit of Greater Manchester and will support individuals, families and communities who have been affected by Covid-19, both now and into the future.

The charities involved all work at the heart of communities across Greater Manchester supporting the mental health of a wide range of vulnerable and isolated individuals ranging from children through to adults. Each charity is seeing new issues emerge as people try to cope with the complex social and psychological distress that Covid-19 and isolation can cause.

Beelieve aims to support people by providing resources and equipment which will allow them to access emotional, therapeutic and practical help when and where it is needed both during and after the Covid-19 outbreak.

Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham said: “We believe this is a really positive move to help tackle these difficult times and enable us to pull together as we all rebuild and reconnect.”

Mancunian band 'The Lottery Winners' have also offered their support and will be donating profit from the sale of their new single ‘Love Will Keep Us Together’ and related merchandise to support the campaign.
