Apart But Never Alone

Britain Get Talking is about encouraging people to connect - and we’ve never needed to connect more.

Last March, Ant and Dec re-launched Britain Get Talking after Saturday Night Takeaway, encouraging everyone to talk to those who need it most. The campaign ran with the support of mental health charities Mind and YoungMinds and a host of ITV faces.

Phone Conversations

It's more important than ever to reach out and keep connected. Throughout Mental Health Awareness Week, five short and relatable animated films ran across the channel to encourage everyone to get talking.
