Starbeck unveils mental health mosaic
The Starbeck community has created a mosaic dedicated to supporting mental health after three young people from the area died from suicide last year.
Starbeck Post Office has funded and erected the large mosaic for a wall on Camwal Terrace, Harrogate. The mural reads 'Mental Health Matters' and is surrounded by brightly coloured tiles.
Postmaster Andrew Hart, who runs the Red Box in Starbeck commissioned the artwork. He said:

The artwork was commissioned from Artizan International and created by Liz Cluderay, director of Artizan's cafe and creative space in Harrogate. Ms Cluderay and her students set to work creating the art piece last summer.
Ms Cluderay said:

Starbeck Post Office commissioned a large mosaic rainbow for the same wall, which Henshaw's created. The rainbow mosaic is dedicated to local medical staff, carers and key workers who worked during covid.
Then last year a mural of Bees for the High Street was commissioned, dedicated to the king's coronation. It was painted by Sam Porter of Muralminded.
