Mind UK is the mental health charity for the UK. With coronavirus affecting the lives of everyone in 2020, mental health has never been more under the spotlight.

But it's not just in 2020 and coronavirus that has had a detrimental effect on our mental health. In the last 4 years we have lost two family friends, whose mental health issues became too much for them to deal with.

At some stage in our lives, at any time, we could all be affected by issues with our mental health. Mind helps and supports those affected directly and those left behind.

Follow our charity fundraising event Kayak The Thames and keep updated and donate what you can. Most of all, remember, it's ok not to be ok and it's good to talk.
