Jonny Goldsmith usually spends his Saturday mornings with his head under a car bonnet, covered in grease, trying to get his beloved "old dunger" restoration project up and running again.
He was one of about 70 people at the event, which was founded by British group Shambush, and invites participants to re-create the music video for musician Kate Bush’s 1978 song Wuthering Heights as a way to raise funds.
The event is held globally every year, as close to Kate Bush’s birthday (on July 30) as possible, and Dunedin is always the first city in the world to do it.
"I’m a huge fan of Kate Bush, obviously, and my daughters did it one year and told me I should come along and watch."
The next thing he knew, he was being slipped into a red dress and encouraged to dance.
"It was a lot of fun, so I’m doing it again this year," he said.
"It’s a good chance to be doing something with my daughters, and it’s a great way to support a local charity."
The organisation was established in response to people not being able to access mental health services at the level that they needed.
The support includes group education sessions, one-to-one work, wellness recovery action plans, early warning sign triggers, information on anxiety and depression.
