​​The Heart & Purpose At its core, Flackstock is:

• A tribute with heart: Caroline’s vibrant personality and compassionate spirit shines through every part of the festival.

• A mental health catalyst: By funding key charities, it aims to open honest conversations and support for mental well‑being.

• A joyful gathering: The atmosphere is celebratory—family-friendly, inclusive, and encouraging everyone to come together in remembrance and light.

Dawn O’Porter, co‑founder, describes it as a “place full of joy where people felt comfortable talking about mental health,” and that the event “became so much more” than just remembrance
