Take a wander through Darlington town centre this Mental Health Awareness Week and beyond...and see what you can spot along the way.
In shop windows across the town, you’ll find familiar faces from the world of Mr. Men and Little Miss - brought to life by local school children. They might look exactly as you remember… but each one comes with a slightly different story.
Mr Lazy might not be lazy at all.Mr Grumpy might actually be worried.Little Miss Busy might just need a rest.
Each window gently challenges the labels we often give people and encourages us to look a little closer.
It’s a simple, free activity for the whole family - no map, no set route, just something to enjoy as you’re out and about. See how many characters you can find, and take a moment to read and chat together.
Created with local schools, this year’s trail is a fun and informative way to mark Mental Health Awareness Week - encouraging conversations about feelings, kindness, and understanding, one window at a time.
