I am running the London Marathon in April 2025. I chose WeAreWithYou as it is a cause that is very close to my heart. I’m running in memory of my grandad who suffered with mental health. This charity helps people access support for drug, alcohol and mental health issues which makes it worth running for and raising money for.
I have a target of £1500 which will help so many people in accessing the support they need to make positive changes in their lives.
Why This Support Is Needed
- Around 1 in 4 people will experience a mental health problem each year in England.
- An estimated 602,391 people in the UK are dependant drinkers, of which 18% are receiving treatment.
- In 2019 1.3 million people in the UK said they had used a class A drug over the course of a year.
WeAreWithYou offer one to one and group support as well as helping people access detox and rehab centres across England and Scotland.
Everyone should feel comfortable getting the support they need for issues with drugs, alcohol or mental health.With You work with people on their own goals, whether that’s staying safe, making small changes or stopping an unwanted habit altogether. By providing people support in a way that’s right for them either face to face, in their local service, community or online. A donation of just £8.40 could mean someone being able to access a support session with a trained advisor through Webchat. That one session could be lifesaving.
