The Havin’ a Laugh Charity are airing a video compilation of writers, musicians and artists. All contributors to ‘The Book’ which was launched on Oct 10th 2020.
The Havin’ a Laugh Charity is a mental wellbeing charity based in Sligo providing life-enhancing activities to people in mental health recovery.
In Dec 2019, at one of their monthly social coffee mornings, everyone present, having had their own lived experience found that sharing the ridiculous aspects of their stories and laughing it out was therapeutic. The idea of a book of uplifting stories sparked to life. The Book is a collection of real stories by real people, written under the themes of Turning Point, Spirit of Life, Laugh It Out and Childrens. The video showcases a selection of the contributors sharing their stories, their music or their art, giving us as insight to Life behind ‘The Book’.
