Messages of hope and acceptance, reminders to reach out and talk, and acts of kindness...
Past Pombombs
Over 250 different Pombombs have been displayed in different villages, towns and cities around the world, being shared hundreds of times. Since 2019, they have spread the message during the week of Holly's birthday (February), Mental Health Awareness Week (May) and World Suicide Prevention Day (September).
Here are a few of our favourites...
