Huge umbrella display returns to Liverpool encouraging people to 'think differently'

A vibrant art installation has been erected in Liverpool's city centre in celebration of neurodiversity.

People are being encouraged to "think differently" about neurodiversity, with ADHD Foundation Neurodiversity Charity unveiling its largest campaign yet. For the first time ever, the annual Umbrella Project will have public installations in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Nestled between Lush and Primark - some of Liverpool's largest and most popular stores - on Church Alley, is the visual spectacle where tourists and locals alike can look in awe at the vast and brightly coloured umbrellas on display. New celebrity patrons are joining the campaign and will be featured on electronic screens, donated by Clear Channel, where they'll share their own personal stories of neurodiversity across hundreds of the outdoor screens, in tandem with the nationwide launch of the iconic Umbrella Project.
