RAISING MONEY FOR MIND

For 4 years we have been using these fundraising challenges to raise awareness for men’s mental health. Yet, after my family lost someone earlier this year, I had to use this as an opportunity to promote Mind and the work they do. My family mean the world to me, and so the least I could do is raise money in Amy’s memory.

Mind are an incredible charity who work to give advice and support to people experiencing a mental health problem. Not only this but they campaign to improve services, raise awareness and promote understanding around mental illness - a hugely important contribution to our society.

25% of people will experience a mental health issue in the next 12 months. That’s over 15 million people in the UK. Mind provide the services to support this people and help to stop them suffering in silence.

If you can, please donate to them to help continue their incredible work. Thank you 💙

WHY SUPPORT A MENTAL HEALTH CHARITY?

Because 25% of the people you know will be affected by a mental health issue in the next year. By supporting a mental health charity you are helping someone that you know.

A mental health issue can be anything from depression to PTSD, as well as things like OCD and eating disorders.

These issues are not going away soon so what we can do is support the charities that support the people affected. Donate what you can, or if you can’t donate, share the work they do and continue to raise awareness around mental health.

We are currently fundraising for Mind & Movember so please use the link in the comments below to donate 💙🖤

From Joe:

Another year has gone by where we’ve lost too many people to su***de. It scares me. We lost over 5,000 people last year, we have to continue to tackle these figures.

I’m someone who has struggled and continues to struggle most days. I promise I don’t have it all figured out but I’m trying. I talk more than I ever have before, I exercise for my mind above all else, I’ve surrounded myself with people who care about me, and I’m in a job where I feel I can make a difference. Please don’t suffer alone, a problem spoken is a problem halved.

I am of course very aware of the times we’re currently living in, so please don’t feel pressure to donate. But, if there’s one thing you can do, please share this post and get the message out there. It costs nothing but could help more than just one person.
