Hugo Running 10k for Young People's Mental Health
Fundraising for OTR Bristol
Story
Thanks for showing an interest in my JustGiving page.
On May 5th I will be running the Bristol 10k raising money for Bristol charity OFF THE RECORD (OTR), a mental health social movement by and for young people in the Bristol area. They provide free, confidential and self-referral information and support to young people aged 11-25 in Bristol and South Glos.
Any money raised will be donated to innovative areas of their work such as community hubs and other projects that allow young people to access mental health support in hard-to-reach geographical areas and in a format that is most accessible for them.
This is a cause close to me and I have seen the impact their work can have firsthand.
Thanks for your support. Wish me luck.

ABOUT OFF THE RECORD BRISTOL

- OTR provides mental health support and info to young people aged 11-25 across Bristol and South Gloucestershire.
- OTR’s services are free, confidential, self-referral and provide a variety of support projects to combat mental and emotional health needs such as depression, anxiety, self-harm, OCD, abuse, eating disorders, family breakdown and substance abuse.
- OTR works in schools, colleges and youth clubs to promote good mental health and provide tips and tricks to look after your wellbeing.
