We wanted to kick off our Wednesday with a huge shout out to our lovely new Mentor Sophie, who ran the half marathon this weekend in support of The Arthur Ellis Mental Health Foundation!

Sophie only joined us recently, so this is an incredible level of commitment! Outside of supporting Arthur Ellis, she is a mum of three neurodiverse boys with a degree in Early Childhood Studies. She is also a Learning Mentor in a school, supporting children’s social, emotional, and mental health development.

Helping people in-session and on the run, literally! Thank you Sophie 💚🧠

We wish this was an April Fools joke. Long waiting lists for mental health support are very real.

When someone is struggling, time matters. That’s why we work to provide fast, accessible mental health support for the people who need it.

Access. Over. Awareness 💚🧠

It’s World Bipolar Day. Bipolar Disorder affects 1% of the population- that’s roughly 600,000 people in the UK alone.

In our Founder and Chief Fundraising Officer Jon’s words:

“Bipolar, to me, feels like you’re buried on the beach. When the tide comes in, its crashing on you constantly without chance to catch breath. When it clears though, it’s beautiful!”

How would you describe Bipolar Disorder? We’d love to hear your thoughts and how you feel about this awareness day. Would you rather more access to services than awareness raising? 💚🧠

29/03/2026

Our podcast is BACK tomorrow and our guest has some incredible insights ahead of . This is a must listen.

As always, a huge thank you to hosts Jon and Wes for their honesty and vulnerability!

We are bringing a BRAND NEW charity event to Milton Keynes!

At The Arthur Ellis Mental Health Foundation, we are building a 1:1 mental health and wellbeing service for children, young people and adults without a waiting list. So far, we are sent 3,500 people per year to support. There are 2 million people on waiting lists.

By coming along, you're supporting a great cause - and you’ll have a brilliant night too!

MasterTasker LIVE 2026 is our charity take on the popular TV show, Taskmaster, where contestants compete to win by completing ridiculous challenges.

The night will include food, a drink on arrival, the show consisting of three pre-recorded tasks and a live task at the end of the night! All will be revealed...👀

As there usually is with us...there's a twist. YOU can determine who gets an ADVANTAGE in the final task! 🚀

Each of our marvellous contestants have a fundraising page. The person with the most sponsorship at the end of the night will gain an advantage in the last task. Meet your contestants ⬇️

🙏 Odette Mould MBE
🙏 Gamiel Yafai MBE
🙏 Sarah Thorne
🙏 Dr Julie Mills OBE

You can find their fundraising pages in the comments!

We’d love to make this event a huge success. Please let us know in the comments who you think would make a great contestant next year!
