Golden eggs help raise awareness of mental health issues

One of the golden eggs.

Local businesses donated special prizes hidden away in golden eggs to raise awareness for charity Youth Talk’s work in supporting young people’s mental health.

The Easter egg trail was organised by Taylor Walton Solicitors, with the eggs squirrelled away in Verulamium Park and on Redbourn Common.

As well as a prize, they also included an insightful mental health fact to spark conversations and promote awareness.

Emily Waddell, head of marketing at Taylor Walton, said: “We wanted to create something fun and family-friendly, while also shining a light on the vital work Youth Talk does for our community. It was fantastic to see so many people out exploring, learning, and sharing their discoveries on social media.”
