What Happened
Bury actor and director Noreen Kershaw has been appointed as the newest ambassador for the Creative Living Centre (CLC), a Greater Manchester mental health charity based in Prestwich. The CLC, which has supported people in the region for over 30 years, announced Kershaw’s role following her television work on shows like *Coronation Street* and *Phoenix Nights*, as well as her advocacy for mental health. Kershaw emphasized that mental health impacts everyone and praised the CLC’s role in providing support, connection, and wellbeing services. CLC chief officer Gareth Monger highlighted Kershaw’s passion for mental health and her potential to expand the charity’s reach through her public profile. As ambassador, Kershaw will help raise awareness and support fundraising efforts for the CLC’s community programs, which aim to reduce isolation and improve quality of life for individuals in Greater Manchester.
Why it matters
Kershaw’s appointment strengthens the CLC’s outreach to a wider audience, particularly in Greater Manchester, where mental health support is critical. Her role will amplify the charity’s efforts to reduce isolation and improve wellbeing through community engagement and fundraising. The CLC’s existing services, including peer support and wellbeing activities, are designed to help individuals access mental health resources, and Kershaw’s influence could encourage more people to seek support. This appointment aligns with the charity’s goal of expanding its impact while addressing the growing need for mental health services in the region.
