This year, Paul and I will be taking part in the Boxing Day Dip, running into the North Sea in fancy dress to raise money for Leeds Mind. Mental health is an 'everyone' problem. I have received help for my mental health in the past and I am indebted to those who provided me with this support - I want to give something back.

Leeds Mind supports the people of Leeds and surrounds to discover their own resources to 'recover' from periods of poor mental health, and to live life independently with their mental health condition. 1 in 4 people experience mental health difficulties in their lives. Whether that be depression, anxiety, isolation, stress, self harm, personality disorder, bereavement or any other negative mental health experience, Leeds Mind are here for you.
