7 out of 10 children and young people who experience a mental health condition have not had appropriate interventions at a sufficiently early age. Our £3 million pound 7 in 10 Childrens Mental Health Appeal is aiming to raise vital funds to enhance inpatient and community mental health services at Alder Hey Childrens NHS Foundation Trust, enabling more children to access the treatment they need at the time they need it.

You can help now by signing up for our amazingly ambitious Million Mile challenge by pledging to cover a distance - running, walking, peddling, swimming, or hopping even and by raising sponsorship money you will be helping us towards our £3m target.

Exercise is proven to benefit mental health. So what better way to support children and young people who need access to mental health services than to walk, run, cycle or swim and help us to reach a #MillionMiles for childrens mental health by 2022.
