Lancashire Mind
Mental Elf 2021
Our Lancashire Mind elves are travelling all the way from Rivington Pike to the North Pole - an incredible 4042km - to raise awareness and funds for better mental health for everyone in Lancashire.
Story
Can you donate to support their amazing efforts?
We need to raise much-needed funds as demand for our services increases, our funds reduce, and we battle to meet that demand and ensure that everyone in Lancashire has access to the support they need when they need it.
As a group we are making the 4042km journey via our virtual challenge event and our 5k fun run at Witton Park. Our supporters will choose how and when they complete their kms with the common goal of helping us to raise £20,000.
We have seen a 116% increase in referrals for young peoples services from January 2021 to June 2021
Can you help?
We have seen a significant increase in referrals for our supported housing since June 2021 and we have reached capacity to support meaning there are people who need us that we are unable to help currently.
Can you help?
Many people are still facing stigma and misconception around their mental health - meaning they feel unable to speak out and get the support they need.
Can you help?
Every pound donated brings us a step closer to helping to achieve our vision of Mental Wellbeing for All. Be part of change
