HULL is hoping to make it into the Guinness World Records as part of a poignant record attempt.

The city will take centre stage today on World Mental Health Day when Hull College teams up with three businesses to host a very special lesson.

Medical tech firm Smith & Nephew, digital experts Think Cloud and local training providers Think Mental Health have joined forces with the college to attempt a Guinness World Record title for the most users in a mental health awareness video lesson.

The landmark event will invite people from across Hull, the wider region, and around the world to take part in a powerful online session with staff members from the four organisations, designed to raise awareness, challenge stigma and inspire action around mental health.

The session, which will be streamed globally, aims to bring together over 1,000 participants to set a new world record, surpassing the current record total of 770.
