Spalding street art boards are put to use with mental health message

The long-awaited street art boards in Spalding have today been put to use with an emotive mental health themed piece.

Street artist Honr (Karl Barfoot) has been working on the recently-installed boards at Castle Sports Complex since 8:30am today (Thursday).

The design focuses on words related to mental health issues and features a man to signify how men often suffer in silence with their problems.

Spalding based Karl, who has been working in collaboration with Community Mind Matters on the piece, said: "I knew what I wanted to do and thought this exact idea up last night so I decided it was time to get it done.

"I was worried it might be too dark but actually, men's mental health is a dark topic so I think it works well."
