Story
After an enforced break due to Covid, the CSV team are dusting off their walking boots and taking part in the Wellbeing walk to raise money for our charity partner, Mind. We’re walking from 1AS to the Co-op Pioneers Museum in Rochdale which at 13.3 miles - over half a marathon!
Why we’re walking
One in four people have a mental health problem in any given year. That’s around 14 million people in the UK – someone in every family, workplace and friendship group and the pandemic had a huge impact with 60% of adults and 68% of young people reporting their mental health had gotten worse.
Co-op is working with MIND, SAMH and Inspire to put in place practical ways to make a positive difference to the wellbeing of the communities in which we all live and work.
Thanks to the amazing efforts of our colleagues, our fundraising is changing lives with over 50 new mental wellbeing services set up across the UK. We’re fundraising so that we can continue to we can make a positive difference to the wellbeing of the communities where we all live and work. Help us achieve something amazing and sponsor us today 😊
