Story
Unfortunately on the 17th February 2020, we lost one of our best friends, Eleanor Lomax, who sadly took her own life. Ellie was only 19 years old.
The circumstances of her passing are truly heartbreaking for everyone.
Ellie has had ongoing mental health matters for a long period of time that she fought for years in which both family and friends have fought alongside Ellie to fight off the demons inside her head. The demons regrettably overcame our girl and the angels came to give her her wings to take her to the stars to have eternal happiness.
The most recent survey of the mental health of children and young people in England found that 12.5% of 5 to 19-year-olds had at least one mental disorder when assessed (2017), and 5% met the criteria for 2 or more mental disorders.
This means that right now there are at least 10 million children and adults having issues with their mental health and well-being.
In 2017 there were approximately 5,821 registered deaths by suicide in the United Kingdom, equating to an average of 16 suicides per day in the country.
Mental Health UK:
“1 in 4 people in the UK is affected by mental health problems every year. We bring together over 40 years of expertise from four national mental health charities to provide advice, information and support.”
Our ask of you:
All we ask is for any donation possible (or even a share of this page) towards such an incredible and devoted organisation that helps people all across the UK. Organisations like this benefit from the funding they receive from donations that lead to help people who may be more vulnerable than ourselves.
Organisations like this also helped our Ellie during her fight and it would mean so much to us to return the favour for all of there hard work and commitment when helping our friend.
Furthermore, we are making charms and bracelets to sell with 100% of the proceeds going towards the four charities that are made up in Mental Health UK.
Thank you.
