"The mural aims to inspire empathy and erase the stigma surrounding mental health issues. "Concerns about how to look after our mental health during times of uncertainty and isolation is of utmost importance since the covid pandemic swept across our planet. "Connecting with nature is a proven way to improve our mental health; wellbeing of the environment and our own wellbeing are intertwined. The Rejuvenate mural was painted in recognition of The Key to Life Charitable Trust, which was founded by mental health supporter Mike King.
