Story

Thank your for taking the time to visit my just giving page. 

What is sane?
I am raising money for sane a charity that helps not only young people but all people with mental illnesses. Sane is a charity that can help stop this stigma. 

Why this charity? 
I want to help stop the stigma around mental health issues because everyday I see bullying and hate towards people my own age because of there illness. Raising awareness will help break the taboo around talking about issues surrounding mental health. The money I raise will also help educate people on the area in which so many people don't understand. 

Recently the funding for the NHS mental health system has been cut. I have seen first hand the devistating affects it causes when people don't receive the treatment they need to beat their illness. I've seen so many teens and young adults refused beds and impatient services due to lack of resources. it isn't fair that one person can be deemed more sick than another because they show more symptoms when that person hasn't gone through months of waiting to get help. With more materials and mental health support works we can help children, young adults, parents, grandparents, men, women, the poor and the rich recover and live with their issues

What research Does SANE do?
SANE have two research pages which you can view topics include self harm and suicide you can view this via there website for full details as to the outcome of their investigation. 

#StopStigma
Also on their website you can view the #StopStigma page, this is really helpful as you can also donate £5 and receive your stop stigma wristband
