We at Bath Mind are delighted to be back at the Bath Half Marathon 2022!
As a local and independent mental health charity, Bath Mind are here to promote and nurture everyones mental health through the provision of information, activities, advice and support.
Taking part in the Bath Half Marathon is a fun and enjoyable way to support both your own AND your communitys mental health and wellbeing.
By joining our team you will help us provide support to everyone in Bath & North East Somerset who experiences mental distress or may be at risk of poor mental health.
In 2020, with over 200 runners, Team Bath Mind raised over £40,000 as the local lead charity! This year, well be returning to the Bath Half to raise funds for our vital Breathing Space and Befriending services.
I was in a real crisis before the call - you have turned the lights back on for me. Thank you. (Breathing Space Caller)
Breathing Space, our evening crisis support line, runs every evening throughout the year and provides a trained listening ear for anyone at risk of poor mental health.
Our Befriending service is here to support anyone needing regular support and check in calls, where our experienced team listen and offer advice to promote positive health and wellbeing and building confidence around accessing different areas of support in the community.
Both services will offer face-to-face support as well as remote support once national social distancing guidelines allow.
These services have proved to be a life line for hundreds of people in our community throughout the COVID-19 lockdown and beyond. Together, our Bath Half 2021 Bath Mind runners team can ensure these services can sustain and grow to support even more people across B&NES.
For any queries on getting involved or your entry, please contact Jodie at jodiehoskin@bathmind.org.uk.
* Charities pay a small fee for our service. Find out how much it is and what we do for it.
