We all say that we should talk more about mental health and so MiLO have decided to do just that. For 24 hours up to 10 volunteers will be streaming a live Google hangout straight to YouTube and talking about mental health, taking part in Q&A sessions, having a quiz (or two) and raising lots of awareness for mental health!
We're looking at getting this started as soon as possible so need some volunteers who want to stay up for 24 hours (please don't agree to do this if you think it may impact your health or wellbeing) and some volunteers to help us raise money and awareness of what we are doing.
To volunteer you need to be used to Google hangouts and also have a good internet connection so that you don't drop out. You've also got to be OK to stay up and talk for a whole 24 hours and preferably have someone who can go on food and drink runs for you. We'll have toilet breaks though, so don't worry!
If you'd like to be involved then please let us know below. If we get more than 10 volunteers the names will go in a hat and we'll pick them out at random.
Thanks a lot!!
Bex

I've researched into streaming the hangout live to YouTube so that everyone can watch us too. Eeeek!

I'd love to, but I'd never be able to guarantee being able to stay awake for 24 hours!! Though if I can help in any way, please let me know!!

Hey everyone,
How does the 22nd-23rd November sound? Probably starting at around 6pm and then finishing at 6pm on the Saturday (just in time for the new Doctor Who, haha).

Depending on the times, I'd be happy to help. No guarantee until perhaps 2/3 days beforehand so don't rely on me yet, but am interested.
