7th Half Marathon? Smashed it ✅

We had the absolute pleasure of hosting Andrews 7th Half Marathon here around Chasing the Stigma HQ, (water and finish line ice lollies supplied of course!) ☀️

An incredible group of runners joined Andrew on his 7th challenge in the incredibly difficult heat with barely any shade and we just can't express how proud of all those who participated one way or another!

Andrew is more than half way through his challenges but if you'd like to support him on the rest then please feel free to share & or donate via the link here:

*TW: themes of su***de*
At Chasing the Stigma we often talk about the statistics around su***de, particularly the stark reality that almost three-quarters of those who die by su***de each year have had no contact with mental health services in the year leading up to their death. However, these figures reveal the picture is even more concerning.

"Every day in the UK, 17 people die by su***de. Of those, only five are in contact with mental health services, and four of those five (80%) were assessed as ‘low’ or ‘no’ risk at their last point of contact."

The scale and complexity of the issue is a big part of what we do. These figures underline not just the urgency of improving access to support, but also the critical importance of the work we do within the Hub of Hope, ensuring people can find the help they need, when and where they need it.

If you or anyone you know is in need of support, or simply don't know where to start. Visit or download the Hub of Hope to search for support on your terms & wherever you need it 💚
