A CHARITY THAT USES ART CAMPAIGNS TO MAKE THE TABOO TOPICS EASIER TO ADDRESS. FROM THERE, PROVIDE A PLACE TO SUPPORT, EDUCATE & SIGNPOST - PRE DIAGNOSIS, NEWLY DIAGNOSED, NAVIGATING A LIFE WITH CHRONIC DISEASE, AND HOW TO FACE YOUR MORTALITY FEELING EMPOWERED.
A charity led by medical experience, working with real voices of lived experience, and collaborating with organisations of specialist support. Across conditions, across communities, across cultures. Every day too many people are facing their mortality at a young age. Facing life changing, incurable disease or even dying. It is scary, isolating and a difficult road to navigate. Mortal And Strong is a charity using art and medical led support in an innovative approach to disease prevention & support - prevention of secondary complications that arise from delayed diagnosis, prevention of mental health issues as a result of poor support and isolation, and support to know how to self-advocate and face your mortality feeling empowered.

HEALTH CORNER…
A place to learn how to invest in the most important relationship you will ever have, potentially a life-saving relationship…yourself. Education, support, how to self-advocate, empowerment.

“The beauty is not in the scars themselves, or the disease. The fragility of our mortality and cruelty with which our lives becomes dictated by a diagnosis is not something to be glamourised. What is borne as a result of those scars is what is gold and to be shared as rays of hope and strength to others. It is the fierce determination to embrace life to its fullest: finding a deeper and profound joy in the dawn of another day itself. It is this which makes scars of gold".”
