Action Mental Health New Horizons has received a grant of £9,260 through the Culture for All funding programme, delivered and funded by the Arts Council of Northern Ireland and the Big Lottery Fund in partnership with Culture Company 2013.

AMH New Horizons, which helps people to overcome the effects of mental ill health and in many cases return to work, is using the funding for their new  project entitled, ‘What’s Your Story’.

BBC Writer in Residence at Queen’s University, Malachi O’Doherty, has made his living mostly as a freelance journalist and broadcaster reporting and commenting on the Troubles and the Peace Process. He is a supporter of Action Mental Health and supported the launch of the project.

The ‘What’s Your Story’ project will see the creation of an art piece in the form of a two-seater sofa made out of 2013 literary and music books donated by people from across Northern Ireland. As such, the art piece will reflect literary and musical cultures across the generations with all the donated books sharing a link through cultural heritage. The finished art piece sofa will be transportable and will tour throughout Northern Ireland in the UK City of Culture year.

Action Mental Heath’s Mickie Harkin said;

“We started thinking about how we could mark the City of Culture year in a socially inclusive way that would get as many people involved as possible.  We hope the ‘What’s Your Story’ project will reflect the importance of literature to our city while people from across Northern Ireland can get involved by contributing their favourite books. Everyone has old books at home that maybe they read as a child and are now just sitting on a shelf or a cupboard. We are after as many books as possible and it would be great if, through this project, we can reflect the influence that literature has had.”

Damian Smyth, Head of Drama and Literature at the Arts Council said, “We always knew that books were useful! Now you can read them, enjoy them, remember them fondly – and then sit on them.”

Action Mental Health is calling on people from throughout Northern Ireland to donate their favourite books in order to create the sofa and take it on a unique voyage across the country.  The regional Action Mental Health offices that are dotted around the country will act as collection points for those wishing to contribute their favourite books.

The Culture for All programme will bring people together to enjoy a range of community based arts and culture activities that link to the UK City of Culture. As the City of Culture, Derry~Londonderry will play host throughout 2013 to a year-long celebration of culture for local people and visitors from across the globe.

Malachi O’Doherty, donates books to AMH; Callum Clark, AMH Events Fundraiser; Gavin McConvey AMH Fundraising Manager; and Tricia Browne, Communications Manager are on hand to collect for AMH New Horizons Foyle
