Photographer and Mental Health Champion John Launches 2026 Calendar
West Belfast photographer and mental health campaigner John Mallon has launched his annual photographic calendar to aid local charities.
John initially took up photography during his own battle with mental health issues and has since used his talent to inspire others facing similar struggles to seek help.
- Proceeds from the calendar have gone to help local homelessness charities and foodbanks.
- John runs a stall in the Kennedy Centre, showcasing his work and highlighting mental health support.
It's a combination of my work and travel in different parts of Ireland. A new addition to it this year is the inclusion of the Irish language which I am a big supporter of.
The 'Beauty on our Doorstep 2026' calendar was launched with the help of Deputy Lord Mayor Paul Doherty and Oscar-winning actor Paddy Jenkins.
