Retail and leisure destination Trafford Palazzo has announced a number of new events for May, including the installation of a positivity tree. Launched in tandem with Mental Health Awareness week, (May 9-15), the tree will give shoppers the opportunity to communicate with others, and help those who may be feeling lonely.
Located in the main malls opposite Primark, visitors are encouraged to write a message of support for someone else and place the note on the tree's branches. There will also be a designated seating area around the tree for people to sit and take their time reading the messages.
Kate Holland, senior business marketing partner at Peel L&P said: “We wanted to show our support during Mental Health Week and offer something tangible for our visitors and the Positivity Tree has been installed to generate messages of hope and inspiration. As this year’s theme for Mental Health Awareness is loneliness, we are really proud to establish Trafford Palazzo in conjunction with coffee operator, Second City Coffee, a Chatty Café establishment to welcome people who may be feeling lonely to chat and natter and take the time to read the amazing messages of encouragement and support from the public.”
