For mental health awareness week, I've decided I will attempt my first 1/2 marathon on a not-so-sunny day. I will be running for a charity I work very closely with, Bath Mind, to raise money for the their mental health and wellbeing services to support those in need. 

With the UK now facing unprecedented isolation measures and historical restrictions to life, Bath Mind believes that we need to consider more than ever the mental health and wellbeing of our community. For many with existing mental health problems this is a particularly stressful and challenging time, therefore Bath Mind's mental health support services are therefore more critical than ever, and a life line for so many in our community.

Bath Mind supports the essential mental health and wellbeing needs of hundreds of people across B&NES. We have adapted these services to include remote support and care wherever possible, however we urgently need funds to enable us to meet the increasing demand for mental health support in B&NES, and help support the strain placed on our services by COVID-19 measures.
