Story
1 in 4 people will experience a mental health problem in any given year but only 25% of those people will receive support.
Spotting mental health problems can be difficult and it can be hard to know what to do when supporting someone with a mental health problem.
Around 5,140 people took their own lives in England & Wales in 2013, an increase of 4% on the previous year.
During the last parliament, funding for mental health services in England was cut, in real terms by 8.25% - that's almost £600 million.

We want to make a difference, so to do our bit to help this fantastic charity Team Champion have decided to take on the massive challenge to join Trekfest at the start of September. Our team of intrepid trekkers will be challenging themselves to brave a 50km trek around the Peak District! We're expecting to face over 12 hours of hiking, we will be battling the Peak District terrain well into the night.
Your donation could help inspire Team Champion to achieve this amazing challenge and more importantly help this fantastic charity take another step to change someone's life for the better.
Thanks, from all at Team Champion
