A portable installation for Freshers’ Fairs and wellness days, or as a permanent feature in halls of residence and communal spaces around campus.

Applecards

People write their 5-a-day for the mind and hang it on the tree. The cards become a community-sourced gallery of wellbeing tips, so passers-by can read them for fresh ideas and start positive, non-clinical conversations about looking after their minds.
