PATPAT Community presents Get Comfy, 2023 – Mental Health Awareness Festival.
Now in its second year, 'Get Comfy 2023' is an event to bring people together with live music, create a community that is supportive and comfortable with talks about mental health, and also to raise some money for charity.
This year we are proudly supporting Evolve Wellington Youth Service and Kites Trust, and will be donating profits from the event to these mental health charities.
Being at this event is showing that you are there to support those around you in need, so #letsgetcomfy!
