View Full Version : charity bands
hi
what do you think about the bands do you think that they are waste of time or can they really help?
i think the will help but not that much
do you have any and which ones?
I think they promote awareness amongst people, which is a good thing :D

I have got the Beat Bullying band. I wear this all the time as bullying is the one thing that makes my blood boil.
However, I do think that a lot of young people wear them merely as a fashion statement. My daughter has about 20 of them!
If only one person wearing one band highlights the cause that it is promoting, then they are well worth having.

I've not bought any as I find a lot of the causes they are for are advertised widely.
The one I've not seen is for mental illnesses/depression/anxieties, personally I think the charities surrounding these aren't as well known about as others.
I'd wear one with pride if Mind or something did one.
OCD UK do a band named "Just a thought", I bought one for my daughter who has OCD.

Cool, I think I'll try and get one of those. Everyone at work has the anti bullying, anti racism, anti poverty etc ones but these are things you read and hear about daily.
Is it me or does the media portray people like us to be bad people who should be locked up in a mental ward 24 hours a day?
You can get them on e bay, OCD UK have there own selling section on there.
It's the age old stigma of mental health I reckon.

now that is a thought we could have one for our site ideas for bands well we would have to have a cool one then maybe the whole mental health thing will not be so stigmatized
Well, I think it should say JFDI followed by www.nomorepanic.co.uk!

yeah i would too could be another way of promoting the site
Hmmmm, quite like red myself! Would of course be up to Nic though!
Kate x
Have just googled and there are several sites that make the wristbands. I'll look into the prices etc if Nic wants?
Kate x
yeah if you do that and maybe post the links on here so nic could have a look
i think it would be great to have our own bands
red mmm yeah i could live with that but i think the color has to be something diffrent from the ones already out
