Joe Gilbert - Rethink

Went for a walk around Birmingham today and stopped to speak to Joe Gilbert a 22 year old guy working for the Mental Health Charity 'Rethink Mental Illness'.

This guy stands out in the rain all day in towns accross the country trying to increase awareness of Mental health which is seen as a taboo by many people yet affects so many.

Very few people stop to talk to Joe even to give him the time of day. Yes his ultimate goal is to gain funding after all it is a carity which relies heavily on public generosity but hes also very passionate about what the charity stands for.

Next time you are aimlessly walking round town and someone like Joe says hello why not say hello back. You never know what you might learn.
