Story

Why We Need Your Support

Our healthcare system is facing an unprecedented crisis, and at the heart of it are the doctors, nurses, midwives, and all healthcare workers who, Every Minute Of Every Day, tirelessly care for those in need. But many of these dedicated professionals are themselves struggling - burned out, overwhelmed, and, tragically, some are even losing their lives to the pressures of their work. Now, more than ever, they need your help.

This Winter is expected to be the worst one on record for the NHS, with the healthcare system placed under even more pressure. This will mean healthcare staff’s mental health will inevitably suffer.

We need to raise £50,000 to fund our Weekly Support Groups for a year. These free, professionally facilitated, online groups provide a lifeline for healthcare workers facing any mental health challenge such as work-related stress or burnout.

Reaching our critical fundraising target would enable us to deliver two Weekly Support Groups each week from April 2025 - one continuing on a Wednesday lunchtime and the other will be an evening or weekend session.

Since our support groups started running in 2020, we have helped more than 4000 healthcare workers with their mental health.

We are facing an emergency. Please act now. Your donation can make a direct and life-changing impact. Together, we can ensure that no one suffers in silence and that every healthcare professional receives the support they deserve.
